Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Aldermaston Wharf
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. Whether it is coastal-themed receptions and rustic farm weddings, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Rural weddings around Aldermaston Wharf have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Do not forget your suppliers
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

A chip van compared with other options
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. The cost per head usually 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.
Why Aldermaston Wharf hosts choose us
- No surprises in your quote

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
