Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Hundred Acres
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. Whether it is relaxed, informal receptions and engagement parties, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Rural weddings around Hundred Acres have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- No kitchen needed
- Events in Hundred Acres and across Hampshire
- A quote that spells everything out

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter weddings in Hundred Acres are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
How to prepare

Hundred Acres: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Hundred Acres too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Generally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you park near the barn?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
