How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding. In Falmer, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day

Common questions in Falmer
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Stanmer Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Typically most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.

We cover London and the South East, including Brighton and Hove. See all areas.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
