FAQs for Itchingfield
Is Itchingfield close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Nicolas?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Itchingfield.
Will the van be in our photos?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
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 we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
