Fresh fish and chips in Billingbear
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Billingbear
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Whether it is garden and marquee receptions and barn and farm weddings, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Rural weddings around Billingbear have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Count suppliers working late
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early

It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.

Weddings in Billingbear: venues, ceremonies and travel
Billingbear is about 3 miles north-west of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Whether your wedding is in the middle of Billingbear or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve all 41 towns and villages across Bracknell Forest, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Billingbear to Reading (8 miles away).
Holt Copse & Joel Park nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos. Marrying at Church of All Saints? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening.
Anywhere in RG42, we can bring the van to you. Whether your wedding is on Billingbear Lane and Carters Hill or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Billingbear, we also cover Binfield (1 mile south), Temple Park (2 miles south-east), Tickleback Row (2 miles east), Popeswood (2 miles south) and Moss End (2 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Bracknell (3 miles south-east), Sandhurst (7 miles south), Wick Hill (3 miles south-east), Whitegrove (3 miles south-east), Great Hollands (3 miles south) and Forest Park (4 miles south-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Wokingham Hospital (3.3 miles south-west) and The Lexicon (2.6 miles south-east). Open spaces near Billingbear include Weycock Hill and Holt Copse & Joel Park.
- Local pubs include Stag And Hounds Public House (1 mile south-east)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Evening fish and chips
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
