How our wedding fish and chip van works in Buriton
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We’re frequently asked to cater relaxed, informal receptions and seaside-themed weddings, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Buriton, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: 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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Put bins near the van
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In Buriton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
