About our wedding fish and chip van in Rowledge
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. Whether it is weddings in a marquee or garden and evening food for day and evening guests, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural weddings around Rowledge have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Rowledge questions
Can the van park in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Saint James?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The date and time of year

Other occasions in Rowledge
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 normally the easier option.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Rowledge wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
