About our wedding fish and chip van in Farnham
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. On the menu are sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for anniversary celebrations and rustic farm weddings.
A wedding in Farnham might mean a ceremony at a local church followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That suits a chip van perfectly: the van parks beside the marquee or in the hall car park. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Why book our van in Farnham
- A clear quote before booking

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
