About our wedding fish and chip van in Newbury's
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. For second-day and after-party food and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Rural weddings around Newbury's have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, sunset in Newbury's is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Newbury's
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Hot food handed straight over
- Bookings across East Sussex, including Newbury's

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
