Wedding fish and chip van in Wokingham: what to expect

At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for food after the first dance and day-after gatherings.

You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready.

Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

The menu and how many choices
How long we serve
How far we travel
Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
The address or venue name
Expected numbers
The spot you have in mind for the van

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options

Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed.

Questions to ask before you book

What they can offer for dietary needs
How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
Whether there’s a minimum
What the van needs: space, access, power

Should I sort the food myself?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Occasions we serve in Wokingham

People get hungry again by the evening, and a chip van gives guests something hot and generous. It’s a fun moment too.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:

Anniversary celebrations
Laid-back receptions
Seaside-themed weddings
Food after the first dance

Diets, allergies and planning

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Count suppliers working late

Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.

Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

Common questions in Wokingham

How many evening guests should we cater for?

Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.

What time will you serve?

At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.

When do you arrive?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Can the van park on grass?

Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Do you have allergen information?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

Do we need to provide equipment?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.

How much space do you need?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
