Wedding fish and chip van for Burghfield Common events
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 nobody has to miss the wedding.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.

We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Burghfield Common
Which station is closest to Burghfield Common?
Mortimer station, about 2.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Burghfield Common?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come to Burghfield Common?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Burghfield Common and across West Berkshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At a December wedding in Burghfield Common, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
