About our wedding fish and chip van in Mill Lane
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. Typical bookings include rustic farm weddings and laid-back receptions, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Mill Lane, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about

Mill Lane: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Mill Lane?
The closest is Winchfield station, roughly 3 miles away.
Is Mill Lane too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What time will you serve?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Golden-hour photos in Mill Lane at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or GU10 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
