Wedding fish and chip van in Cooper's Corner
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Wedding fish and chip van in Cooper's Corner, cooked to order
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding after-parties and weddings with a seaside feel, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Near Cooper's Corner, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Evening food at a Cooper's Corner wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Cooper's Corner questions
Which station is closest to Cooper's Corner?
Etchingham station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Holy Trinity?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Cooper's Corner.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We will fit around your first dance and band.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
