About our wedding fish and chip van in Lower Beeding
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. For barn and farm weddings and informal weddings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Lower Beeding, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.

The process
