How our wedding fish and chip van works in Berwick
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. For barn and farm weddings and weddings in a marquee or garden, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Berwick, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Berwick: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Berwick?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Berwick?
Berwick has its own station: Berwick (Sussex) station.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Berwick, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
