If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Wedding fish and chip van in Weeke, cooked to order
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for second-day and after-party food and weddings in a marquee or garden.
A farm or garden wedding near Weeke suits a chip van. We need level, firm ground and a way in. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At midsummer, sunset in Weeke is about 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.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Planning wedding fish and chips in Weeke
Weeke is about 1 mile north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. For weddings in Weeke, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Weeke is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 11 miles away.
St. Cross Park can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first. Couples marrying at local churches such as Church of St Matthew frequently hold the reception nearby, with the van parked by the marquee or hall.
We cover weddings in every part of SO22 and SO23 and the streets around it. Local streets include Elm Road, Dean Lane and Links Road; a wedding on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Close by, we cover weddings in Harestock (1 mile north), Hyde (1 mile east), Abbotts Barton (1 mile east), Winchester (1 mile south-east) and Littleton (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastleigh (7 miles south), Andover (12 miles north-west), Totton (13 miles south-west), Chandler's Ford (6 miles south), Hedge End (11 miles south) and Romsey (8 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Winchester Castle (0.9 miles south-east) and Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) Museum (0.8 miles south-east). Open spaces near Weeke include Twyford Down and Winnall Moors.
- Schools near Weeke include Peter Symonds College (0.6 miles east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Railway Inn (0.6 miles south-east)
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Common questions in Weeke
Is Weeke close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Matthew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
