Wedding fish and chip van for Chieveley events
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Chieveley
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater relaxed, informal receptions and seaside-themed weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Chieveley, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Chieveley questions
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Chieveley from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you cover Chieveley?
We do. We serve events in Chieveley and across West Berkshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
