A chip van near Churt
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Churt
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. For barn weddings and seaside-themed weddings, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Churt, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

Churt questions
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Churt?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
What time will you serve?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll fit your running order.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Winter weddings in Churt are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
Ask for a quote
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book our van in Churt
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No kitchen needed
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A clear quote before booking
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
