What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Durrant Green questions
How far is Durrant Green from London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you come to Durrant Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Durrant Green is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Takeaway run or book a van?

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Talk to us about evening numbers
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
