Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for

Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Cheriton
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for vow renewal parties and weddings in a marquee or garden.
Rural weddings around Cheriton have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Cheriton
Do you come out to small places like Cheriton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Cheriton close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Do you cover Cheriton?
Yes, we do. Cheriton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, sunset in Cheriton is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
