Wedding fish and chip van for Burghfield Hill events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Burghfield Hill
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. We’re often asked to cater evening wedding food and laid-back receptions, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Weddings in a place like Burghfield Hill frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Burghfield Hill questions
Is Burghfield Hill close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Berkshire. Find your area.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
