Wedding fish and chip van in Deepcut, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include second-day and after-party food and relaxed, informal receptions, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Weddings in a place like Deepcut frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing has been out for hours. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Deepcut
How far is Deepcut from London?
About 29 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Deepcut?
Farnborough North station, about 1.9 miles west of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Will the van be in our photos?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Golden-hour photos in Deepcut at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
