About our wedding fish and chip van in Hurstpierpoint
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We’re often asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and weddings with a seaside feel, with curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In Hurstpierpoint, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Hurstpierpoint: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hurstpierpoint?
Hassocks station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Hurstpierpoint Baptist Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
