About our wedding fish and chip van in Segensworth
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Whether it’s barn and farm weddings and anniversary celebrations, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Rural weddings around Segensworth have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Golden-hour photos in Segensworth at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Questions from Segensworth
What’s the nearest station to Segensworth?
Swanwick station, about 0.9 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at St John?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.

What else we do in Segensworth
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
