Wedding fish and chip van for Hangleton events
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Hangleton
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We are often asked to cater seaside-themed weddings and day-after gatherings, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
There is something special about a country wedding near Hangleton, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a summer wedding in Hangleton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Questions from Hangleton
Is Hangleton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Hangleton?
The closest is Goring-By-Sea station, roughly 1 mile away.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hangleton?
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
