Planning wedding fish and chips in Hunston
Hunston is about 2 miles south of Chichester, in West Sussex. We serve weddings at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Hunston. We serve all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Hunston to Brighton (28 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Hunston are Goodwood House (4.5 miles north). Grand venues like these normally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before you book. Couples marrying at local churches such as St Leodegar's Church frequently hold the reception nearby, with the van parked by the marquee or hall. The sea is within about 5 miles, perfect for a seaside-themed wedding. We’ll plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We take the van to weddings all over PO20 and the streets around it. Your wedding could be at a house on Heath Close, Westlands Road and St Leodegars Way or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to weddings in Donnington (1 mile west), North Mundham (1 mile east), Runcton (1 mile east), Portfield (2 miles north) and Chichester (2 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Bognor Regis (4 miles east), Selsey (5 miles south), Littlehampton (11 miles east), Emsworth (8 miles west), Rustington (12 miles east) and Angmering (13 miles east).
A little further out are St Richard's Hospital (2.3 miles north) and Chichester Castle (2 miles north).
- Local schools include Chichester High School For Girls (1.4 miles north) and Chichester Free School (1.4 miles north-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Spotted Cow Public House (within half a mile north-east)
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In Hunston, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

For event organisers in Hunston
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Organising a club, school or community event in Hunston? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 is fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Hunston questions
How far is Hunston from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Hunston too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
