Droxford: your questions answered
Is Droxford close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary and All Saints: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Can the van come to Droxford?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Droxford. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- The length of service
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. For a summer wedding in Droxford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

Planning help
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:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
