Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Curry sauce

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. Winter weddings in Pyrford Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
