How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your wedding in South Weirs. In South Weirs, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Wedding fish and chip van in South Weirs, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Whether it’s anniversary celebrations and coastal-themed receptions, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like South Weirs frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

South Weirs questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Saviour: can you come?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will agree the spot in advance.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including South Weirs.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.

With the New Forest National Park within about a mile, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the van. With the coast within about 5 miles, fish and chips suits a seaside-style wedding. We will plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

What affects the price in South Weirs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help

- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
