How our wedding fish and chip van works in Brunswick

Weddings in a place like Brunswick frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Brunswick questions
Can you serve after a service at St Stephen's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
