Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Sutton Green
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. We are often asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and relaxed, informal receptions, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Rural weddings around Sutton Green have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where the van would park
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. For a summer wedding in Sutton Green, 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’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Sutton Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Sutton Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Sutton Green from London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
