Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Broadbridge
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. For wedding after-parties and engagement parties, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Broadbridge often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Put bins near the van
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Flag coeliac guests early
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Winter weddings in Broadbridge are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Broadbridge
Is Broadbridge too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Broadbridge?
Broadbridge has its own station: Bosham station.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
