Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Almodington

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. Evening food at a Almodington wedding frequently 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. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van

Almodington weddings: local tips
Almodington is about 4 miles north-west of Selsey, in West Sussex. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Almodington. We take the van to 371 places across West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 26 miles away.
Pilsey Island nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos, and the countryside around Almodington suits an outdoor reception. After a ceremony at a church like Earnley Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. With the coast within about 4 miles, fish and chips suits a seaside-style wedding. We will plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We serve weddings across the PO20 postcode area. That could mean a wedding at a home on Second Avenue, Batchmere Road and Third Avenue or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Close by, we cover weddings in Somerley (1 mile north-west), Earnley (1 mile south-west), Birdham (1 mile north), Highleigh (1 mile east) and Shipton Green (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (6 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-east), Selsey (4 miles south-east), Littlehampton (13 miles east), Emsworth (7 miles north-west) and Rustington (14 miles east).

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Count suppliers working late
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
