Wedding fish and chip van in Warnborough Green, fried fresh
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater day-after gatherings and garden and marquee receptions.

Common questions in Warnborough Green
Is Warnborough Green close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Warnborough Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Warnborough Green is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
