Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Common questions in Wymering
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Wymering from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Wymering?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Wymering, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Why book with us
