Wedding fish and chip van in Pirbright, cooked to order

Near Pirbright, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

- How long we serve

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Pirbright
Do you come out to small places like Pirbright?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Pirbright?
Brookwood station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come to Pirbright?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Pirbright and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
