Wedding fish and chip van in Sellindge
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Sellindge
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. Whether it’s coastal-themed receptions and barn weddings, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce and more.
A wedding in a small place like Sellindge frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Sausage and chips

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put bins near the van
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
