Onslow Village questions
Is Onslow Village close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: 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. Send us the address.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
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.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Onslow Village
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Whether it is evening wedding food and second-day and after-party food, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Weddings in a place like Onslow Village often 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. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Onslow Village wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan where the queue will stand

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Where the van can park in Onslow Village
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
If you want evening food guests will talk about, a chip van is hard to beat. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- No surprises in your quote
- Quick service from the hatch
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
