Wedding fish and chip van in Rew Street
How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Rew Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand

Common questions in Rew Street
Can you serve near the sea around Rew Street?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Rew Street.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What a fish and chip van costs

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
