Wedding fish and chip van in Littlehampton, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We are frequently asked to cater weddings with a seaside feel and anniversary celebrations, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
For a wedding in Littlehampton, a marquee in a family garden or a hall with a car park keeps things personal. Evening fish and chips suits that kind of day. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

For event organisers in Littlehampton
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Littlehampton
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Littlehampton close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, sunset in Littlehampton is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
