Fresh fish and chips in Rockbourne
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Rockbourne
Do you come out to small places like Rockbourne?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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. Send us the address.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Rockbourne?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Wedding fish and chip van in Rockbourne, fried fresh
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and second-day and after-party food, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Near Rockbourne, weddings are often 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. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Golden-hour photos in Rockbourne at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
