Questions from Boorley Green
What’s the nearest station to Boorley Green?
Hedge End station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Boorley Green?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Wedding fish and chip van in Boorley Green, fried fresh
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and engagement celebrations.
A farm or garden wedding near Boorley Green suits a chip van. We need a firm spot and access. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Boorley Green

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. For a summer wedding in Boorley Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
