The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Whether it’s second-day and after-party food and engagement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Near Gosford, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Gosford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Gosford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Gosford close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Gosford?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
