How our wedding fish and chip van works in Byfleet
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. Typical bookings include garden and marquee receptions and laid-back receptions, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Weddings in a place like Byfleet frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
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. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In Byfleet, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
