A chip van near Longmoor
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Evening food at a Longmoor wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Longmoor
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. Whether it’s vow renewal parties and second-day and after-party food, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
Near Longmoor, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

FAQs for Longmoor
Is Longmoor close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Longmoor?
Liss station, about 2.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What time will you serve?
Normally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where the van can park in Longmoor
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
