About our wedding fish and chip van in East Cholderton
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. For barn weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
A wedding in a small place like East Cholderton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Evening food at a East Cholderton wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Related guides
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. 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. Your quote spells it all out.

FAQs for East Cholderton
Which station is closest to East Cholderton?
The closest is Grateley station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
How far is East Cholderton from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.

Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
