Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Mill Green

There’s something special about a country wedding near Mill Green, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for Mill Green
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
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’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Mill Green?
Thatcham station, about 2 miles north of the centre.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. At a December wedding in Mill Green, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Put bins near the van
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
