About our wedding fish and chip van in Bury
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Whether it is evening wedding food and informal weddings, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas and more.
Near Bury, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Weddings in Bury: venues, ceremonies and travel
Bury is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. From the centre of Bury to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 20 miles away.
Marrying at The Parish Church of St John the Evangelist? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening. Put the station on your invitation: Amberley station is about 1.2 miles away. The South Downs National Park is within about 2 miles of Bury, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the van.
Wherever your wedding is in RH20, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include The Street, Houghton Lane and Coombe Crescent; a wedding on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Common questions in Bury
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Bury?
The closest is Amberley station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you come to Bury?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Bury and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
A chip van compared with other options
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal that guests remember. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Winter weddings in Bury 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 start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Where the van can park in Bury
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
