Heyshott Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Heyshott Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a summer wedding in Heyshott Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
