Questions from Mimbridge
How far is Mimbridge from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Mimbridge?
The closest is Woking station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Wedding fish and chip van in Mimbridge, cooked to order
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. Popular choices include sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for engagement parties and coastal-themed receptions.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Mimbridge, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. At a December wedding in Mimbridge, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

Takeaway run or book a 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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count suppliers working late
- Flag coeliac guests early
- 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.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
