Wedding fish and chip van in Landport, fried fresh
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Typical bookings include barn weddings and pre-wedding get-togethers, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
In Landport, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Winter weddings in Landport are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.

A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Bookings across Portsmouth, including Landport
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Something for guests to gather round
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Landport questions
Is Landport close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Do you cover Landport?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Landport and the rest of Portsmouth. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
