About our wedding fish and chip van in Eddington
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement celebrations and barn weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Eddington often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Questions from Eddington
We are gathering after a service at Hungerford Methodist Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
