A closer look at the menu

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. Evening food at a East Wittering wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Name one person we can call on the day

How to get a price

Send us the date, the address or PO20 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
  • Talk to us about evening numbers
  • Confirm the van can park at the venue
  • Make sure we have someone to call on the day

If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.

A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

For event organisers in East Wittering

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

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’ll work through them with you.
