DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Netherton
It’s relaxed and a little bit fun: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for memorable photos. For garden and marquee receptions and relaxed, informal receptions, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Netherton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
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.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. At midsummer, sunset in Netherton is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

Planning help
For event organisers in Netherton
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Common questions in Netherton
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Netherton from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
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.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
