Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Count suppliers working late
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Wedding fish and chip van in Middleton-on-Sea, cooked to order

- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. At a December wedding in Middleton-on-Sea, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

Middleton-on-Sea questions
Can you serve after a service at St Nicholas Church?
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 Middleton-on-Sea from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Do you cover Middleton-on-Sea?
We do. We serve events in Middleton-on-Sea and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
