How our wedding fish and chip van works in West Barnes

Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for relaxed, informal receptions and evening food for day and evening guests.

In West Barnes, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

FAQs for West Barnes

What’s the nearest station to West Barnes?

Motspur Park station, in West Barnes itself.

Could you trade in Beverley Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Can the van park on grass?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

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.

What if we only have street parking?

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

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Can you park near the barn?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll agree the spot in advance.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Have a back-up for guests with special diets
  • Plan bins by the hatch
  • Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list

Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.

Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

What affects the price in West Barnes

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • The date and time of year
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Numbers
  • Any minimum charge

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.

What to tell us

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Your date and serving time
  • Where the event is

To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in West Barnes, and we will come back with availability and a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
