Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Ewhurst
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We’re frequently asked to cater garden and marquee receptions and wedding after-parties, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Near Ewhurst, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. At midsummer, sunset in Ewhurst is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Questions from Ewhurst
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
