Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Goring
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for anniversary celebrations and coastal-themed receptions.
In Goring, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Goring: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Thomas of Canterbury?
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’ll gather.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you cover Goring?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Goring is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. At midsummer, sunset in Goring is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
