How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Service time
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Wedding fish and chip van in Warsash, cooked to order
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 mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for food after the first dance and day-after gatherings.
For a smaller place like Warsash, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a firm spot and access. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Questions from Warsash
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Where the van can park in Warsash
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter weddings in Warsash are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
