How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Evening food at a Hambledon wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Hambledon
Do you come out to small places like Hambledon?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Hambledon?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hambledon.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
