Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- We cover Owlsmoor and the whole of Bracknell Forest
- Quick service from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- Service time
- How far we travel
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Owlsmoor: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Edgbarrow Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. For a summer wedding in Owlsmoor, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
