About our wedding fish and chip van in Ewell
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Whether it is evening food for day and evening guests and seaside-themed weddings, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
A wedding in Ewell might mean a ceremony at a local church followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That suits a chip van perfectly: we park close to the reception. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, sunset in Ewell is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

- A photo of the parking spot
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Don’t forget your suppliers

- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
