How our wedding fish and chip van works in Winnall
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Whether it is rustic farm weddings and informal weddings, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a smaller place like Winnall, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book our van in Winnall

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

FAQs for Winnall
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Winnall from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Winnall.
Do you come to Winnall?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Winnall and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. At midsummer, sunset in Winnall is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
