Fresh fish and chips in Eversley
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Wedding fish and chip van in Eversley, cooked to order
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Whether it’s informal weddings and pre-wedding get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
A wedding in a small place like Eversley frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Eversley: your questions answered
Can the van park in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Is Eversley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Eversley.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. At a December wedding in Eversley, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Plan bins by the hatch
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
