Wedding fish and chip van for Northbrook events
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

About our wedding fish and chip van in Northbrook
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. We’re often asked to cater vow renewals and anniversaries and relaxed, informal receptions, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Rural weddings around Northbrook 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. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Northbrook
Which station is closest to Northbrook?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Northbrook?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will fit your running order.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you park near the barn?
Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will agree the spot in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. Evening food at a Northbrook wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
