Wedding fish and chip van in Camberley, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For relaxed, informal receptions and evening food for day and evening guests, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
For a wedding in Camberley, a marquee in a family garden or a hall with a car park keeps things personal. Evening fish and chips suits that kind of day. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Camberley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Camberley?
The closest is Camberley station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Paul?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How do you handle 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.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
