How our wedding fish and chip van works in St George's Hill

The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening food at a St George's Hill wedding frequently 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. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Before you choose a spot

- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in St George's Hill

Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
