Book the van in Knaphill
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 typically simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Knaphill
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. For vow renewal parties and weddings with a seaside feel, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce and more.
In Knaphill, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
For planners, venues and organisers
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 run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In Knaphill, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
