Wedding fish and chip van in Frensham
About our wedding fish and chip van in Frensham
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 serve curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement parties and marquee and garden weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Frensham, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges

- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Other occasions in Frensham
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Frensham questions
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.
Is Frensham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can the van come to Frensham?
We do. Frensham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
When should evening food go out?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will fit your running order.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. Evening food at a Frensham wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
