FAQs for Wivelrod
Which station is closest to Wivelrod?
Alton station, about 3 miles east of the centre.
Is Wivelrod close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van come to Wivelrod?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Wivelrod and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Wivelrod
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for engagement celebrations and vow renewal parties.
Rural weddings around Wivelrod have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Golden-hour photos in Wivelrod at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
