Evening food keeps the party going, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. For evening wedding food and informal weddings, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Brookwood, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

We take the van to weddings all over GU24.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before you book
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Golden-hour photos in Brookwood at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Common questions in Brookwood
Can you serve after a service at Saint Saviour's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Brookwood Lye?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van come to Brookwood?
We do. We serve events in Brookwood and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
