How our wedding fish and chip van works in Fawley
Couples love the relaxed feel: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for great photos. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater rustic farm weddings and weddings in a marquee or garden.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Fawley, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Questions from Fawley
Is Fawley close to London?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.

When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Fawley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
