Wedding fish and chip van in Bordon, fried fresh
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and vow renewals and anniversaries, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a smaller place like Bordon, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a firm spot and access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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 you get to enjoy the day.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Count suppliers working late
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In Bordon, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

For event organisers in Bordon
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
Bordon: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at St Mark's Sacred Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Bordon?
Liphook station, about 4.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How many portions do we need?
Typically most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you come to Bordon?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bordon and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can you park near the barn?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
- 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
