A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- No kitchen needed
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan bins by the hatch
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

Common questions in Frilford
Is Frilford close to London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Is Frilford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
