Wedding fish and chip van in Lower Eashing
About our wedding fish and chip van in Lower Eashing
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries.
A wedding in a small place like Lower Eashing frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. For a summer wedding in Lower Eashing, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive

What else we do in Lower Eashing
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

- The venue or postcode

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Lower Eashing
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van go 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.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
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 many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will work to your timings.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Where the van can park in Lower Eashing
We will be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
