Fresh fish and chips in Mytchett
Wedding fish and chip van in Mytchett, fried fresh
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. Typical bookings include weddings with a seaside feel and pre-wedding get-togethers, with cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In Mytchett, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Common questions in Mytchett
Which station is closest to Mytchett?
Farnborough North station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
