About our wedding fish and chip van in Faygate
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We’re frequently asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and coastal-themed receptions, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Rural weddings around Faygate have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

Faygate questions
How far is Faygate from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Faygate too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What does the van need?
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.
What time will you serve?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll fit your running order.
Do you come to Faygate?
Yes, we do. Faygate is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter weddings in Faygate are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
