Wedding fish and chip van in Esher, fried fresh
Couples love the relaxed feel: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for great photos. For rustic farm weddings and laid-back receptions, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce for your guests.
For a smaller place like Esher, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Common questions in Esher
Can you serve after a service at St George's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Esher close to London?
About 15 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
