A chip van near Crawley
Wedding fish and chip van in Crawley, cooked to order
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include day-after gatherings and barn weddings, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Crawley frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Crawley
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Crawley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Do you come to Crawley?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Crawley is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put bins near the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
