Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Micheldever
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For seaside-themed weddings and engagement celebrations, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Rural weddings around Micheldever have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Perfect for your wedding in Micheldever
The van keeps cooking in any weather, which is reassuring for an outdoor wedding.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Micheldever?
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Quick service from the hatch
- Bookings across Hampshire, including Micheldever
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At a December wedding in Micheldever, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Micheldever questions
What’s the nearest station to Micheldever?
Micheldever station, about 2.2 miles north of the centre.
How far is Micheldever from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
