Wedding fish and chip van for Tilford Reeds events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Tilford Reeds
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater food after the first dance and engagement celebrations.
Near Tilford Reeds, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Put bins near the van
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Winter weddings in Tilford Reeds are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
