Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Ludgershall
Do you come out to small places like Ludgershall?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van come to Ludgershall?
Yes, we do. Ludgershall is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.

- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips

Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Don’t forget your suppliers
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
