Wedding fish and chip van in Felpham
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Felpham
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and pre-wedding get-togethers, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
For a smaller place like Felpham, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
Events we cater in Felpham
People get hungry again by the evening, and a chip van gives guests something hot and generous. It is also a talking point.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Felpham?
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Hot food handed straight over
- A menu almost everyone likes
- All the chip-shop extras
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. At a December wedding in Felpham, it’s 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.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
Felpham: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Felpham from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Marrying at Church of St Mary? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening. Planning photos in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
