Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Hollington
Can you serve after a service at St Anne?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
For event organisers in Hollington
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Organising a club, school or community event in Hollington? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
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 we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
