Fresh fish and chips in Wanborough
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Wanborough
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For informal weddings and pre-wedding get-togethers, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural weddings around Wanborough have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Classic food your guests already know
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Wanborough
What’s the nearest station to Wanborough?
Wanborough station, about 0.9 miles north of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What areas do you cover?

What else we do in Wanborough
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
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
