About our wedding fish and chip van in Burley Street
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For marquee and garden weddings and day-after gatherings, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Burley Street, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. Golden-hour photos in Burley Street at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party

Common questions in Burley Street
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at Burley Street Mission Hall?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
