Wedding fish and chip van in Horsebridge, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For barn weddings and wedding after-parties, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips and more.
Rural weddings around Horsebridge have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Horsebridge: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?

How far is Horsebridge from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Do you cover Horsebridge?

Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
