Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Bulverhythe
Couples love the relaxed feel: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for memorable photos. We’re often asked to cater second-day and after-party food and seaside-themed weddings, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Bulverhythe frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Plan bins by the hatch
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
