Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Hampers Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or GU28 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
