Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.

Do you fry it on site?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter weddings in Shoreham are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
