A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. Golden-hour photos in Wadwick at midsummer come around 9:25pm, 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.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day

Wadwick questions
Which station is closest to Wadwick?
Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 3.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Wadwick too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
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.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What affects the price in Wadwick
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- Numbers
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Flag coeliac guests early
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
- 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
