Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Sheerwater

What affects the price in Sheerwater
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time

- Anything awkward about the way in

Sheerwater questions
Can you serve after a service at St. Michaels Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Sheerwater close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Do you cover Sheerwater?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Sheerwater and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 is fried on the spot.
