Fresh fish and chips in Atherfield Green

Wedding fish and chip van in Atherfield Green, fried fresh

Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Whether it is vow renewals and anniversaries and seaside-themed weddings, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.

Near Atherfield Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Our booking checklist

Why choose a fish and chip van in Atherfield Green?

A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. 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.

What you get with us

  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • Something for guests to gather round
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

See our pricing and the cost guide.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Where the van can park in Atherfield Green

No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

Atherfield Green is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What we serve

  • Cod and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Mushy peas

Working with your venue

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

How the day works

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a summer wedding in Atherfield Green, 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. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:05pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

  1. We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
  2. We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
  4. We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.

How to prepare

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Plan where the queue will stand

Questions from Atherfield Green

Do you come out to small places like Atherfield Green?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Is there something for children?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. Find your area.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Is everything cooked fresh?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Planning for dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
  • Put bins near the van
  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Have a back-up for guests with special diets

Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.

Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
