Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Events in Enborne and across West Berkshire
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
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. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. At a December wedding in Enborne, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture 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.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Common questions in Enborne
Which station is closest to Enborne?
The closest is Newbury station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can the van park in Hamstead Marshall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Enborne?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you park near the barn?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- 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
