A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Duddleswell wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
What affects the price in Duddleswell
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
