How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Cudworth
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Typical bookings include food after the first dance and marquee and garden weddings, with mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Near Cudworth, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Cudworth questions
What’s the nearest station to Cudworth?
The closest is Holmwood station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
How far is Cudworth from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Getting married in Cudworth?

After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Peter, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. Wedding photographers in the area frequently head for Vann Lake. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about 5 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check vehicle access with the venue.
For weddings in RH5, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, sunset in Cudworth is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
