Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Hawthorn Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Hawthorn Hill
What’s the nearest station to Hawthorn Hill?
Bracknell station, about 3.2 miles south of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Typically most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you park near the barn?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
What affects the price in Hawthorn Hill
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
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. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
