About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Occasions we serve in Broadbridge Heath
It is often good value next to the wedding breakfast.

- Evening wedding food

What your quote should include
- The van’s size and access needs
- Whether travel is included
- VAT, if it applies
- When payment is due
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Don’t forget your suppliers
Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Broadbridge Heath?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
