Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Little London
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Popular choices include mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and laid-back receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Little London frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Little London: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Old St Peter and St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Little London?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

What affects the price in Little London

- The minimum booking
- The length of service

Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or GU5 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Classic food your guests already know
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Before you choose a 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:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
