About our wedding fish and chip van in Brown Candover
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are often booked for food after the first dance and engagement celebrations.
Near Brown Candover, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Plan bins by the hatch
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. At a December wedding in Brown Candover, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
