How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Wedding fish and chip van in Chilton Green, cooked to order
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. Whether it’s barn and farm weddings and evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Near Chilton Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Chilton Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The deposit and payment dates
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- What the price includes, item by item
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 generally the easier option.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Common questions in Chilton Green
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter and St Paul's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Chilton Green?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van come to Chilton Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Chilton Green and across the Isle of Wight. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
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.
What time is best for the van?
Normally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will fit your running order.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
