Questions from Walter's Green
Is Walter's Green close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
