Wedding fish and chip van in Ingrams Green, fried fresh
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we are often booked for vow renewals and anniversaries and evening food for day and evening guests.
A wedding in a small place like Ingrams Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

Ingrams Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Ingrams Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
