Wedding fish and chip van in Mogador
How it works
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At a December wedding in Mogador, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Ensure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Rural weddings around Mogador have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips 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.

If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The menu, dish by dish

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Mogador
Could you trade in Betchworth Quarry and Lime Kilns?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God: can you come?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do you come to Mogador?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Mogador is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
