- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. At a December wedding in Nutcombe, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

Nutcombe questions
Which station is closest to Nutcombe?
The closest is Haslemere station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
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 follow the site rules.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
