How our wedding fish and chip van works in East Worldham
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. For barn and farm weddings and laid-back receptions, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural weddings around East Worldham have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.

How far is East Worldham from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
