How our wedding fish and chip van works in Belmont
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and anniversary celebrations.
In Belmont, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Belmont, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in

Belmont weddings: local tips
Belmont is about 1 mile south-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Belmont is well within our area, so your wedding just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Belmont is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 31 miles away.
After a ceremony at a church like Emmanuel Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.

For event organisers in Belmont
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Belmont: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Emmanuel 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. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Belmont?
Ore station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Normally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Belmont?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
