Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Bepton
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. We are frequently asked to cater anniversary celebrations and informal weddings, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Bepton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Common questions in Bepton
How far is Bepton from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
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 will follow the site rules.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter weddings in Bepton are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
