How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
FAQs for Upper Beeding
Can you serve near the sea around Upper Beeding?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
