Wedding fish and chip van across Hampshire

A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and coastal-themed receptions, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.

The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready.

Wedding settings across Hampshire

Couples in Hampshire choose everything from venues in Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to marquees in village gardens. A chip van suits the outdoor and rustic end especially well. The New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Hampshire, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events. 143 of the places we cover in Hampshire are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

About the food

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Hampshire: your questions answered

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Where can the van park?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

What can guests choose from?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.

Can the van be part of the photos?

Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.

What time will you serve?

Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.

Who clears up?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
