About our wedding fish and chip van in Heckfield
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it’s coastal-themed receptions and wedding after-parties, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
A wedding in a small place like Heckfield frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Count suppliers working late
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At a December wedding in Heckfield, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed
Heckfield questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you come?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Heckfield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
