About our wedding fish and chip van in Rushmoor
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater food after the first dance and weddings with a seaside feel.
Rural weddings around Rushmoor have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
Why choose a fish and chip van in Rushmoor?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

FAQs for Rushmoor
Which station is closest to Rushmoor?
Farnham station, about 4.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Can the van come to Rushmoor?
Yes, we do. Rushmoor is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At a December wedding in Rushmoor, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
