Murrell Green questions
Is Murrell Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Murrell Green from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In Murrell Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, 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 4:00pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put bins near the van
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
