Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Shripney
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. We are frequently asked to cater food after the first dance and garden and marquee receptions, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Shripney, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Common questions in Shripney
Can you serve after a service at Holy Cross Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Shripney close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Golden-hour photos in Shripney at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Weddings in Shripney: venues, ceremonies and travel
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Anywhere in PO22, we can fry fresh for your guests. Shripney is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 24 miles away.
After a ceremony at a church like Holy Cross Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. It’s worth telling train travellers that the closest railway station is Bognor Regis station, roughly 1.7 miles south of the centre. With the coast within about 2 miles, fish and chips suits a seaside-style wedding. We’ll think about shelter from sea breezes.
This part of West Sussex takes in PO22, so your wedding can be anywhere in it. That could mean a wedding at a home on Shripney Lane, Shripney Road and The Marigolds, wherever the van can park. Other places close to Shripney we cover include Lidsey (1 mile north-east), Flansham (2 miles east), Westergate (2 miles north), Aldingbourne (2 miles north) and Eastergate (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Lancing (15 miles east) and Emsworth (12 miles west).

What else we do in Shripney
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- The day of the week
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a 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 is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
