Wedding fish and chip van in Isfield, cooked to order
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for engagement celebrations and garden and marquee receptions.
There is something special about a country wedding near Isfield, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

Can the van be part of the photos?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.

Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At a December wedding in Isfield, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
