Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Stoughton
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. For garden and marquee receptions and barn and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Weddings in a place like Stoughton frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Stoughton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Stoughton?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. For a summer wedding in Stoughton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
