How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Golden-hour photos in Pevensey Bay at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

Pevensey Bay weddings: local tips
Pevensey Bay is about 3 miles north-east of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Pevensey Bay is well within our area, so your wedding just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Pevensey Bay is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 21 miles away.
Couples marrying at local churches such as St Wilfrid's Church Pevensey Bay frequently hold the reception nearby, with the van parked by the marquee or hall. Wedding photographers in the area often head for Gillham Wood, and the countryside around Pevensey Bay suits an outdoor reception. With the coast within about 5 miles, fish and chips suits a seaside-style wedding. We’ll plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Anywhere in BN24, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your wedding is on The Square, Sea Road and Marine Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Other places close to Pevensey Bay we cover include Pevensey (1 mile north-west), Westham (2 miles west), Langney (2 miles south-west), Normans' Bay (2 miles north-east) and Jenkins' Green (2 miles west).

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Pevensey Bay
What’s the nearest station to Pevensey Bay?
The closest is Pevensey Bay station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at St Wilfrid's Church Pevensey Bay?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
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.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
