How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating

A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In Godinton, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Questions from Godinton
What’s the nearest station to Godinton?
The closest is Ashford International station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Could you trade in Ashford Warren and Hoads Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
