Food your guests will love

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Burgh Hill

Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Typical bookings include second-day and after-party food and weddings in a marquee or garden, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.

There’s something special about a country wedding near Burgh Hill, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Prices and what affects them

We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

  • The minimum booking
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The number of meals
  • Access and parking

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Details that help

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Where you’d like the van to go

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

The process

On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter weddings in Burgh Hill 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 9:15pm.

  1. First, tell us about your wedding.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Getting a price

Working with your venue

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Looking after everyone

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Have bins ready for paper and trays
  • Ask your venue about catering vans first
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Do not forget your suppliers

Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.

Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

Questions from Burgh Hill

Is Burgh Hill 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.

Can you serve after a service at Holy Trinity?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

How much space do you need?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.

Do you come to Burgh Hill?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Burgh Hill. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Does every evening guest need to eat?

Typically most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Burgh Hill.

Is the food cooked at the event?

It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?

For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
