Wedding fish and chip van for Lunsford events
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Wedding fish and chip van in Lunsford, cooked to order
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Whether it’s vow renewal parties and second-day and after-party food, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
For a smaller place like Lunsford, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lunsford?
Next to a cold buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
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 a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. In Lunsford, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
