How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Winter weddings in Rose Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Put bins near the van
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
