Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Spanish Green
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and barn weddings, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Spanish Green, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Spanish Green?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. 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. Your quote spells it all out.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Spanish Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.

Common questions in Spanish Green
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Spanish Green close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
