Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For a summer wedding in Bosham Hoe, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

Bosham Hoe: your questions answered
Is Bosham Hoe too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
