Wedding fish and chip van in Bosham, cooked to order
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. For engagement parties and evening food for day and evening guests, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Bosham often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Bosham weddings: local tips
Bosham is about 3 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We cover Bosham as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We serve all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 24 miles away.
It’s worth telling train travellers that the nearest station is Bosham station, about 0.8 miles north-east. After a ceremony at a church like The United Reformed Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.
Anywhere in PO18, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a wedding at a home on High Street, Viking Way and Merryweather Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Bosham, we also cover Broadbridge (1 mile north-east), Chidham (1 mile west), Bosham Hoe (1 mile south), Nutbourne (2 miles north-west) and Fishbourne (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (8 miles east), Chichester (3 miles east), Selsey (7 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (4 miles west) and Rustington (15 miles east).
A little further out are Chichester Cathedral Treasury (3.2 miles east) and St Richard's Hospital (3.8 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Nutborne Marshes and Stoke Down.
- Local pubs include The Berkeley Arms Public House (less than half a mile north-east)
Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Count suppliers working late
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

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 generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Bosham questions
We’re gathering after a service at The United Reformed Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Bosham?
The closest is Bosham station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, sunset in Bosham is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
