Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Burgess Hill
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Whether it’s engagement parties and rustic farm weddings, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
In a town like Burgess Hill, a church ceremony and a marquee or hall reception is a classic combination. That suits a chip van perfectly: the van parks beside the marquee or in the hall car park. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. At midsummer, sunset in Burgess Hill is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
