Wedding fish and chip van for Fareham Common events
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Evening food at a Fareham Common wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

Should I sort the food myself?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
