Wedding fish and chip van for Offington events
Common questions in Offington
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Offington?
The closest is West Worthing station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
How many portions do we need?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Wedding fish and chip van in Offington, fried fresh
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 informal weddings and pre-wedding get-togethers, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural weddings around Offington have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Offington, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
