Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Dunsfold
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Whether it’s day-after gatherings and coastal-themed receptions, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. At a December wedding in Dunsfold, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
