How our wedding fish and chip van works in Farleigh Wallop

Near Farleigh Wallop, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

Questions from Farleigh Wallop
Do you come out to small places like Farleigh Wallop?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St. Andrew: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
