Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, Surbiton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce

Could you trade in Stokes Field?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
