How our wedding fish and chip van works in Kempshott
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We’re often asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and relaxed, informal receptions, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In Kempshott, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Farleigh Hill nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos. After a ceremony at a church like Saint Mark's Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.
Anywhere in RG22 and RG23, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include Roman Road, Aster Road and Osprey Road; a wedding on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Kempshott
Can you serve after a service at Saint Mark's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Kempshott close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you cover Kempshott?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Kempshott and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
