Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Hookwood
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Typical bookings include garden and marquee receptions and evening food for day and evening guests, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural weddings around Hookwood have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
What affects the price in Hookwood
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the parking spot
- The address or venue name

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Everything cooked to order at your event
