Fresh fish and chips in Nutfield
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Nutfield
Is Nutfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come 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.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
