Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan bins by the hatch
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Winchfield Hurst
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. For garden and marquee receptions and barn and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Winchfield Hurst often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- A clear quote before booking
- All the chip-shop extras
- Something for guests to gather round

Common questions in Winchfield Hurst
Can the van park in Calthorpe Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Winchfield Hurst?
Winchfield station, about 0.9 miles west of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
