How our wedding fish and chip van works in Peel Common

Questions from Peel Common
How far is Peel Common from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Peel Common too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
