Wedding fish and chip van for Hernhill events
About our wedding fish and chip van in Hernhill
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming late in the evening. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for marquee and garden weddings and evening food for day and evening guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Hernhill, 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: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hernhill?
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. Golden-hour photos in Hernhill at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Hernhill questions
Is Hernhill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Hernhill from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Generally most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
