Wedding fish and chip van in Glynde, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We are frequently asked to cater second-day and after-party food and coastal-themed receptions, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Glynde, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Glynde
How far is Glynde from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Who books wedding fish and chip van in Glynde?

Diets, allergies and planning

- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Flag coeliac guests early
It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Planning the van’s spot

- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. At a December wedding in Glynde, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
