Wedding fish and chip van in Whitehill, cooked to order
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Whether it is relaxed, informal receptions and day-after gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Whitehill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How far is Whitehill from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Whitehill?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
