How our wedding fish and chip van works in Hanworth
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement celebrations and rustic farm weddings.
In Hanworth, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Put bins near the van
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
What the van needs

- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Hanworth
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Hanworth?
The closest is Bracknell station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Golden-hour photos in Hanworth at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
