Wedding fish and chip van for Sandhills events
Common questions in Sandhills
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Sandhills?
Witley station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Sandhills?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Sandhills
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. For garden and marquee receptions and engagement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Sandhills often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planners, venues and businesses
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.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Evening food at a Sandhills wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Preparing for the day
