Wedding fish and chip van in Kingswood

What a fish and chip van costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The menu and how many choices
  • Any minimum charge

Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • The venue or postcode
  • Your date and serving time

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Wedding fish and chip van in Kingswood, fried fresh

Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. For vow renewals and anniversaries and evening food for day and evening guests, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.

There is something special about a country wedding near Kingswood, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Kingswood: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like Kingswood?

How far is Kingswood from London?

Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.

Do you need power or water?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

Can the van park on the street?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Do you take everything away?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Do you do evening food for weddings?

Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.

Can you park near the barn?

Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.

How the day works

Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At a December wedding in Kingswood, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
  2. We check access at the venue and send a price.
  3. We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
  4. We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
  5. We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Let us know the serving time

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?

Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Why book our van in Kingswood

DIY versus a fish and chip van

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
