Wedding fish and chip van in Runfold
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Golden-hour photos in Runfold at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Runfold
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for marquee and garden weddings and food after the first dance.
A wedding in a small place like Runfold often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Put bins near the van
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

For event organisers in Runfold
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.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Common questions in Runfold
Which station is closest to Runfold?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at The Church of the Good Shepherd?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
