The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Quarley is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

About our wedding fish and chip van in Quarley
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Quarley frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

What else we do in Quarley

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Questions from Quarley
Do you come out to small places like Quarley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
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.
Do you come to Quarley?
We do. Quarley is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
