We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Lindfield
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. For evening food for day and evening guests and vow renewals and anniversaries, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In Lindfield, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. Evening food at a Lindfield wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
