Wedding fish and chip van for Long Hanborough events
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. In Long Hanborough, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Long Hanborough
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. Typical bookings include second-day and after-party food and weddings with a seaside feel, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Weddings in a place like Long Hanborough often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
