About our wedding fish and chip van in Woolhampton
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 fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We’re often asked to cater day-after gatherings and coastal-themed receptions, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Woolhampton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding.

A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
