A chip van near Whiteley Village
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Wedding fish and chip van in Whiteley Village, cooked to order

Whiteley Village questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Whiteley Village?
Weybridge station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you park near the barn?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put bins near the van
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding.
