Wedding fish and chip van for Lurgashall events
Should I sort the food myself?
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’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Lurgashall
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. For engagement celebrations and vow renewal parties, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Near Lurgashall, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Lurgashall questions
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Lurgashall from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
