How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Numbers
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Wedding fish and chip van in Temple Hill, cooked to order
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for wedding after-parties and vow renewal parties.
In Temple Hill, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Temple Hill questions
Is Temple Hill close to London?
Roughly 14 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Temple Hill?
Dartford station, in Temple Hill itself.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Can you park near the barn?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Golden-hour photos in Temple Hill at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
