Wedding fish and chip van for Titchfield Park events
Wedding fish and chip van in Titchfield Park, cooked to order
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. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and food after the first dance, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Near Titchfield Park, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Titchfield Park, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.

Common questions in Titchfield Park
We are gathering after a service at St John: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
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.
