How our wedding fish and chip van works in Titchfield Common
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We are often asked to cater wedding after-parties and rustic farm weddings, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Weddings in a place like Titchfield Common frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Titchfield Common, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

For event organisers in Titchfield Common
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
