Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Hungerford
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for food after the first dance and engagement celebrations.
Rural weddings around Hungerford have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. At midsummer, sunset in Hungerford is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day

FAQs for Hungerford
How far is Hungerford from London?
About 31 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Hungerford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
