How our wedding fish and chip van works in Egham Hythe
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. We’re frequently asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and barn weddings, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For a smaller place like Egham Hythe, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your wedding. In Egham Hythe, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
