Wedding fish and chip van in Horsham, fried fresh
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for day-after gatherings and relaxed, informal receptions.
Horsham has plenty of wedding venues, from hotels and function rooms to clubs and gardens. The van suits any reception with a car park or yard nearby. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Common questions in Horsham
Which station is closest to Horsham?
Horsham station, in Horsham itself.
Can the van park in Warnham Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
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.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
