Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Easthampstead
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for marquee and garden weddings and food after the first dance.
In Easthampstead, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
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 keeps things simple.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Something for guests to gather round
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Easthampstead, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Easthampstead, and we will check the date and send a price.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Easthampstead: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Easthampstead?
Bracknell station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Is Easthampstead close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Bracknell Forest included. Find your area.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
