Wedding fish and chip van in Burghclere Common
Wedding fish and chip van in Burghclere Common, fried fresh
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it is most welcome. For vow renewal parties and second-day and after-party food, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Burghclere Common often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Burghclere Common
How far is Burghclere Common from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Burghclere Common?
Newbury station, about 2.7 miles north of the centre.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, West Berkshire included. See all areas.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
