Wedding fish and chip van in Burley
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Burley
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater evening wedding food and vow renewals and anniversaries.
A wedding in a small place like Burley often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
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 are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Burley: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Burley?
The closest is Sway station, roughly 5 miles away.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- We cover Burley and the whole of Hampshire
- A van that becomes part of the event

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. At midsummer, sunset in Burley is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.

- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
