About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Albourne Green
Which station is closest to Albourne Green?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What time will you serve?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will work to your timings.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Golden-hour photos in Albourne Green at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
