Wedding fish and chip van for Turnfurlong events

Wedding fish and chip van in Turnfurlong, fried fresh

Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We are frequently asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and relaxed, informal receptions, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.

For a smaller place like Turnfurlong, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • How far we travel
  • The length of service
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Any minimum charge

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Details that help

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • The date and time of the event
  • Anything awkward about the way in

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

What happens on the day

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Winter weddings in Turnfurlong are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

  1. We start with a few details about your wedding.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

How to get a price

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

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

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

What you get with us

  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Classic food your guests already know
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • A quote that spells everything out

Turnfurlong questions

How far is Turnfurlong from London?

Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.

We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

Can you park near the barn?

Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

What if the weather’s bad?

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.

What does it cost to hire the van?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How long does set-up take?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Perfect for your wedding in Turnfurlong

Choosing a fish and chip van

For event organisers in Turnfurlong

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Turnfurlong? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Looking after everyone

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Include the band, photographer and venue staff
  • Make sure we have someone to call on the day
  • Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.

Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

  • 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
