Wedding fish and chip van in Bradley, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Whether it is weddings in a marquee or garden and vow renewal parties, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
A wedding in a small place like Bradley often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In Bradley, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

Bradley is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Bradley to Reading (20 miles away).
King's Hill nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos. After a ceremony at a church like Church of All Saints, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A clear quote before booking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Bradley questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Bradley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Bradley?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
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 tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
