How our wedding fish and chip van works in West Horsley
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. Whether it’s vow renewal parties and garden and marquee receptions, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
A farm or garden wedding near West Horsley suits a chip van. We need a firm spot and access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
West Horsley questions
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

What’s the nearest station to West Horsley?
The closest is Horsley station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
