Wedding fish and chip van in Crampmoor, cooked to order
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. For coastal-themed receptions and day-after gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Crampmoor often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

What affects the price in Crampmoor
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Crampmoor
Do you come out to small places like Crampmoor?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Crampmoor?
Romsey station, about 1.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
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.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
