About our wedding fish and chip van in Peasemore
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for laid-back receptions and evening food for day and evening guests.
Rural weddings around Peasemore 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. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Peasemore
How far is Peasemore from London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What happens if it rains?
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 many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At a December wedding in Peasemore, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van

Why choose wedding fish and chip van in Peasemore?
A chip van brings a relaxed, fun feel to the evening. The hatch becomes a meeting point.

- Food after the first dance
- Vow renewals and anniversaries
- Barn weddings
- Engagement parties
Snelsmore Common nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
What to look for in a quote

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van

A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
