About our wedding fish and chip van in Offham
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. For food after the first dance and laid-back receptions, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Offham, 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 it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Offham: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
For event organisers in Offham
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will come back with availability and a quote.

What else we do in Offham
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
