Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Cobham

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Space, access and the venue

- A clear area by the serving hatch

- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
