Wedding fish and chip van for Tatsfield events

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Tatsfield

Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and wedding after-parties, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.

For a wedding in Tatsfield, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

For event organisers in Tatsfield

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Ensure we have someone to call on the day
  • Confirm the van can park at the venue

It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.

A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Tatsfield is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
  3. We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
  4. On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

What comes out of the fryer

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Space, access and the venue

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

As a London location, Tatsfield is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Popular choices

  • Sausage and chips
  • Evening fish and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Curry sauce

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding

We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

  • Cod, haddock or both
  • How many people are eating
  • Parking and the way in
  • The day of the week

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.

What we need to know

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The address or venue name
  • The spot you have in mind for the van

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
