Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Farley Hill
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater vow renewal parties and food after the first dance.
A wedding in a small place like Farley Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Farley Hill
Is Farley Hill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at St Eligius?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Farley Hill.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Bookings across West Berkshire, including Farley Hill
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Planning help
Planning wedding fish and chips in Farley Hill
Farley Hill is about 4 miles south-west of Wokingham, in West Berkshire. People in Farley Hill book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Farley Hill is one of 155 places in West Berkshire where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Reading, about 6 miles away.
It is worth telling train travellers that Wokingham station is about 4.1 miles away. Planning photos in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve? It’s worth checking the park’s rules first.
For weddings in RG7, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Church Road and Jouldings Lane; a wedding on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to weddings in Arborfield Cross (2 miles north), Swallowfield (2 miles west), Bramshill (2 miles south), Riseley (2 miles west) and Heckfield Heath (3 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Thatcham (15 miles west), Burghfield Common (7 miles west), Calcot (7 miles north-west), Burghfield Hill (6 miles west), Theale (8 miles north-west) and Beansheaf Farm (7 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Beaumys Castle (2.9 miles west) and Berkshire Library & Museum of Freemasonry (3.6 miles north). Green spaces nearby include The Marshes Local Nature Reserve and Horseshoe Lake.
- Nearby schools include Bohunt School Wokingham (0.9 miles north-east)
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
Send us the date, the address or RG7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
