FAQs for Bury's Bank

Which station is closest to Bury's Bank?

The closest is Newbury Racecourse station, roughly 1.2 miles away.

How far is Bury's Bank from London?

About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Will the van be in our photos?

It generally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.

What areas do you cover?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bury's Bank.

What happens if it rains?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Can you park on the road outside?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

How do you handle allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

A chip van compared with other options

Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Why us?

  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • A clear quote before booking

Read our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Do not forget your suppliers
  • Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
  • Ask your venue about catering vans first
  • Have bins ready for paper and trays

If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.

A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

Should I sort the food myself?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Choosing a fish and chip van

About the food

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

How the day works

Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Bury's Bank, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.
