Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put bins near the van
- Talk to us about evening numbers
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Brimpton Common questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Brimpton Common too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
Send us the date, the address or RG7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
