Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Hanover
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. For laid-back receptions and coastal-themed receptions, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In Hanover, 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. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 usually the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Hanover, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

With the South Downs National Park within about 7 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check vehicle access with the venue. The sea is within about a mile, perfect for a seaside-themed wedding. We will think about shelter from sea breezes.

Hanover questions
Is Hanover close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve near the sea around Hanover?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hanover.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
