You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. Evening food at a Aldwick wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
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. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Aldwick
Can you serve after a service at St Richard’s Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Aldwick?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Aldwick is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
