Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
What affects the price in Hungerford
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips

- Curry sauce

A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

- Quick service from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No surprises in your quote

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have a lot of guests.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Common questions in Hungerford
Do you come out to small places like Hungerford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How many portions do we need?
Normally most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For a summer wedding in Hungerford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:05pm.
