Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Penton Hook
Can the van park in Penton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Penton Hook?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Events in Penton Hook and across Surrey
- No surprises in your quote
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning wedding fish and chips in Penton Hook
Penton Hook is about 2 miles south of Staines-upon-Thames, in Surrey. From the centre of Penton Hook to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We serve all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Penton Hook to Guildford (12 miles away).
It is worth telling train travellers that Chertsey station is about 1.5 miles away. Marrying at Church of All Saints? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. In Penton Hook, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
