Fresh fish and chips in Bepton Common
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Bepton Common
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We are often asked to cater informal weddings and day-after gatherings, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Bepton Common, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Common questions in Bepton Common
Is Bepton Common too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a photo of the spot.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
