How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Three Bridges, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Wedding fish and chip van in Three Bridges, fried fresh
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater engagement celebrations and weddings in a marquee or garden.
For a smaller place like Three Bridges, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

A chip van compared with other options
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
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.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Three Bridges? 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.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips

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.
Common questions in Three Bridges
We are gathering after a service at St Barnabas': can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Three Bridges from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you park near the barn?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll fit your running order.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Space, access and the venue
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
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
