Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Farnborough
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We are frequently asked to cater engagement parties and day-after gatherings, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
London weddings around Farnborough frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Farnborough is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No surprises in your quote
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
