Wedding fish and chip van in Jury's Gap
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Jury's Gap
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Typical bookings include evening food for day and evening guests and anniversary celebrations, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Jury's Gap, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Common questions in Jury's Gap
Is Jury's Gap close to London?
About 56 miles from central London.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you come to Jury's Gap?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Jury's Gap is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. To check your date, use our quote form.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. Winter weddings in Jury's Gap are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
