Planning the van’s spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A short walk from the party
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

Common questions in Fisher

We’re gathering after a service at St Leodegar's Church: can you come?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

How far is Fisher from London?

Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can the van park on grass?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

What do we need to supply?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.

Where will the van go at our venue?

Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

What happens on the day

We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts. For a summer wedding in Fisher, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

  • The address or venue name
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Where you’d like the van to go

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Have a back-up for guests with special diets
  • Include the band, photographer and venue staff
  • Have bins ready for paper and trays

After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.

Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
