Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Plumpton Green
We’re gathering after a service at All Saints: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Plumpton Green?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
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 plan a back-up spot.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

How the day works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Plumpton Green, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
