How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

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. Evening food at a Ibstone wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Common questions in Ibstone
Do you come out to small places like Ibstone?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Ibstone?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For evening food with a bit of fun, a fish and chip van is a great choice at a wedding in Ibstone. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why Ibstone hosts choose us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Something for guests to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Quick service from the hatch
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
