Denton questions
Can the van park in Castle Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve near the sea around Denton?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Denton?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Denton.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Denton, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
