Lordington weddings: local tips
Lordington is about 4 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. Wherever your wedding is in the PO18 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Lordington is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Lordington to Southampton (22 miles away).
Marrying at Racton Church? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening. Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (4.2 miles south-west) and Uppark (4.8 miles north). Grand venues like these normally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking. With the South Downs National Park within about 7 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check vehicle access with the venue.
Anywhere in PO18, we can bring the van to you. For weddings just outside Lordington, we cover Racton (1 mile south), Walderton (1 mile north-east), Funtington (2 miles south-east), Hambrook (2 miles south) and West Ashling (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Bognor Regis (11 miles south-east), Chichester (6 miles south-east), Selsey (11 miles south-east), Emsworth (3 miles south-west), Portfield (6 miles south-east) and Yapton (13 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Havant War Memorial Hospital (4.7 miles south-west) and Emsworth Museum (3.2 miles south-west). The countryside around Lordington includes Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve and Walderton Down.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Other occasions in Lordington
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
FAQs for Lordington
Could you trade in Stansted Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Racton Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Lordington?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can the van park on grass?

Do you cover Lordington?

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Lordington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
