Wedding fish and chip van in Fetcham, cooked to order

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Fetcham?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Fetcham: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Fetcham?
The closest is Leatherhead station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you come 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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter weddings in Fetcham are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
