About our wedding fish and chip van in Hungerford
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. For garden and marquee receptions and vow renewals and anniversaries, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Hungerford, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
