Wedding fish and chip van in Damerham, cooked to order
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for day-after gatherings and weddings in a marquee or garden.
Near Damerham, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Damerham
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Service time
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
Larger groups typically 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.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Do not forget your suppliers
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Damerham: your questions answered
Is Damerham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you come?
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.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, sunset in Damerham is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day
How to get a price
