Wedding fish and chip van for Kingsley events
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space and the way in
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Wedding fish and chip van in Kingsley, cooked to order
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for evening food for day and evening guests and weddings with a seaside feel.
Near Kingsley, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
