Wedding fish and chip van in Little Somborne
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Little Somborne
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We’re often asked to cater engagement parties and barn weddings, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Little Somborne often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
A chip van compared with other options
Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Winter weddings in Little Somborne are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
