Fresh fish and chips in Yateley
Wedding fish and chip van in Yateley, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We’re frequently asked to cater barn weddings and second-day and after-party food, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a wedding in Yateley, a marquee in a family garden or a hall with a car park keeps things personal. A fish and chip van fits that style. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter weddings in Yateley are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Yateley
What’s the nearest station to Yateley?
The closest is Sandhurst station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Count suppliers working late
- Flag coeliac guests early
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
