Fresh fish and chips in Bullbrook
Wedding fish and chip van in Bullbrook, cooked to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We’re often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and engagement parties, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
For a smaller place like Bullbrook, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter weddings in Bullbrook are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
FAQs for Bullbrook
Is Bullbrook close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
