Our wedding fish and chip van in Southampton
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for wedding after-parties and barn and farm weddings.
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wedding.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Around Southampton
You’ll find the van serving near Saint Mary's, St Mary's Independent School and Rockstone Place Park. You’ll also find Bevois Town Primary School (less than half a mile west), The Hobbit pub (less than half a mile west) and St Anne's Catholic School (0.6 miles south-west).

Wedding settings across Southampton
Couples in Southampton choose everything from venues in Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park to marquees in village gardens. A chip van suits the outdoor and rustic end especially well. Around 40 places in Southampton are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Southampton: For outdoor photos, Netley Common is close by, and the countryside around Southampton suits an outdoor reception. After a ceremony at a church like Saint Mary's, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. For a summer wedding in Southampton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Put bins near the van
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will check the date and send a price.
