About our wedding fish and chip van in Westfield
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We are frequently asked to cater barn weddings and day-after gatherings, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In Westfield, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In Westfield, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Westfield
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Westfield from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Westfield.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you park near the barn?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What affects the price in Westfield
These are the factors that matter most:
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal that guests remember. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
