Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Lindford
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Typical bookings include wedding after-parties and laid-back receptions, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In Lindford, 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. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Lindford questions
What’s the nearest station to Lindford?
The closest is Liphook station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you park near the barn?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why Lindford hosts choose us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Lindford, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
