How wedding fish and chip van works in East Sussex

Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for weddings with a seaside feel and second-day and after-party food.

When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding.

Weddings across East Sussex: venues and settings

With 240 villages and hamlets as well as Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex has plenty of countryside wedding settings. Whatever you choose, we agree the van’s spot with your venue. Parts of East Sussex are within a few miles of the High Weald National Landscape and the South Downs National Park, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles. Around 106 places in East Sussex are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Eastbourne: Marrying at St Andrew? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening. If you want countryside in your photos, Combe Hill isn’t far. In Eastbourne, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

A chip van compared with other options

A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

Travel, tolls and road charges

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

To speed things up, tell us:

A picture of the space and the way in

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

Count suppliers working late
Put bins near the van
Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list

We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.

Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
