Common questions in South Nutfield
Is South Nutfield close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park in Nutfield Marshes?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in South Nutfield?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including South Nutfield.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Wedding fish and chip van in South Nutfield, fried fresh
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. Whether it is vow renewal parties and weddings with a seaside feel, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural weddings around South Nutfield have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
