A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

FAQs for Epwell
Is Epwell too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Anne?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will fit around your first dance and band.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
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.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In Epwell, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
