How our wedding fish and chip van works in Peacehaven
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include second-day and after-party food and evening wedding food, with curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For a smaller place like Peacehaven, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- The length of service

Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Peacehaven: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Peacehaven?
The closest is Newhaven Town station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Usually most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
