Questions from Hersham
How far is Hersham from London?
About 16 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. It is our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
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.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. Winter weddings in Hersham are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
