DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. At a December wedding in East End, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in East End
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is East End too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
