Fresh fish and chips in Bouldnor
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Bouldnor
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. Typical bookings include barn weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Bouldnor frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. 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’s ready.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Bouldnor: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Bouldnor?
The closest is Lymington Pier station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
Can you serve near the sea around Bouldnor?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you park near the barn?
Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What time will you serve?
Normally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will fit your running order.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
