The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At a December wedding in Crockerhill, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- 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 when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips

What’s the nearest station to Crockerhill?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you cover Crockerhill?
We do. Crockerhill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

About the food
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.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

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 confirm what we can provide.

- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Don’t forget your suppliers
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
