How our wedding fish and chip van works in Bewbush
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Typical bookings include evening food for day and evening guests and weddings with a seaside feel, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
A farm or garden wedding near Bewbush suits a chip van. We need a firm spot and access. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Put bins near the van
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
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.

Could you trade in Target Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
