Wedding fish and chip van in Nork, cooked to order
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for rustic farm weddings and evening food for day and evening guests.
In Nork, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
For event organisers in Nork
Organising a club, school or community event in Nork? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Nork
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Nork?
The closest is Banstead station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
