Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Bullockstone
Can you serve near the sea around Bullockstone?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Bullockstone close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Bullockstone?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Bullockstone
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Typical bookings include laid-back receptions and vow renewals and anniversaries, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Bullockstone, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
