Wedding fish and chip van in Hurst Wickham, fried fresh
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. On the menu are curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater coastal-themed receptions and engagement celebrations.
Rural weddings around Hurst Wickham have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Common questions in Hurst Wickham
We are gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Hurst Wickham?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 1 mile away.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
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.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
