Wedding fish and chip van in Selsey, fried fresh
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. For weddings in a marquee or garden and rustic farm weddings, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
In a town like Selsey, a church ceremony and a marquee or hall reception is a classic combination. That’s ideal for evening fish and chips: the van parks beside the marquee or in the hall car park. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Selsey: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Selsey?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How far is Selsey from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van come to Selsey?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Selsey and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
