Questions from Brooklands
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Charles Borromeo: can you come?
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.
How far is Brooklands from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will fit your running order.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Brooklands
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We are often asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and food after the first dance, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a smaller place like Brooklands, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Brooklands?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Planning wedding fish and chips in Brooklands

Historic houses near Brooklands include Byfleet Manor (1.7 miles south) and The Homewood (3.3 miles east). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and vehicles. Wedding photographers in the area often head for Ferris Meadow Lake.
Wherever your wedding is in KT13 and KT14, we can bring the van to you. From Segrave Close, Railton Close and Locke King Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wedding. For a summer wedding in Brooklands, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
