Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Horam: your questions answered
How far is Horam from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Evening food at a Horam wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
