Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Fawley Bottom
How far is Fawley Bottom from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Fawley Bottom?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Step by step

A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
