Wedding fish and chip van in Frindsbury, cooked to order
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Typical bookings include barn weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, with curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For a smaller place like Frindsbury, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Frindsbury? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the event is

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Count suppliers working late
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

FAQs for Frindsbury
Is Frindsbury close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you park near the barn?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
