About our wedding fish and chip van in Thursley
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for barn weddings and anniversary celebrations.
Rural weddings around Thursley have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
What affects the price in Thursley

- How easy the site is to reach

What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the space and the way in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Thursley
How far is Thursley from London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.
Is Thursley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
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.
- 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
