Book the van in East Molesey
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. At a December wedding in East Molesey, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

How our wedding fish and chip van works in East Molesey
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. For wedding after-parties and weddings with a seaside feel, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.
In East Molesey, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Plan bins by the hatch
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Questions from East Molesey
Is East Molesey close to London?
About 13 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in East Molesey?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
