Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in North Holmwood
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Whether it is informal weddings and day-after gatherings, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Weddings in a place like North Holmwood frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

North Holmwood questions
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

How it works
