Wedding fish and chip van in Milton Heights, cooked to order

Near Milton Heights, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions.

What else we do in Milton Heights
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
There is 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.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Milton Heights questions
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Milton Heights close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. In Milton Heights, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
