What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a summer wedding in Brighton Hill, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

Wedding fish and chip van in Brighton Hill, cooked to order
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s usually somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. For relaxed, informal receptions and coastal-themed receptions, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For a smaller place like Brighton Hill, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Questions from Brighton Hill
Is Brighton Hill close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at The Church Of Christ The King: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
