Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Durrington
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We serve curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for garden and marquee receptions and relaxed, informal receptions.
A farm or garden wedding near Durrington suits a chip van. We need a firm spot and access. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
How many portions do we need?
Typically most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Durrington?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. 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.
Why Durrington hosts choose us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A quote that spells everything out
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
