Wedding fish and chip van in Ore
Wedding fish and chip van in Ore, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for evening food for day and evening guests and garden and marquee receptions.
For a smaller place like Ore, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a firm spot and access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At a December wedding in Ore, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure the van can get in

Questions from Ore
Can you serve near the sea around Ore?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
