Wedding fish and chip van in Selham, fried fresh
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and wedding after-parties.
Near Selham, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
FAQs for Selham
Is Selham close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
