Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in High Brooms
How far is High Brooms from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at St Matthew's Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you park near the barn?
Normally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in High Brooms?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Wedding fish and chip van in High Brooms, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include day-after gatherings and garden and marquee receptions, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For a smaller place like High Brooms, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
