Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Pulborough

We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We are frequently asked to cater coastal-themed receptions and barn and farm weddings, with cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.

Weddings in a place like Pulborough frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van.

Allergies and dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
  • Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
  • Ask your venue about catering vans first

We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we’re ready at the agreed time.

A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

Space, access and the venue

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

About the food

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal that guests remember. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Why Pulborough hosts choose us

  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Events in Pulborough and across West Sussex
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking

The process

On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. For a summer wedding in Pulborough, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know the serving time
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
