Wedding fish and chip van for Corhampton events
About our wedding fish and chip van in Corhampton
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for barn weddings and informal weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Corhampton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

Corhampton questions
We’re gathering after a service at Corhampton Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Corhampton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
