About our wedding fish and chip van in Slindon
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Whether it is informal weddings and coastal-themed receptions, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Slindon frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Common questions in Slindon
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you serve near the sea around Slindon?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you come to Slindon?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Slindon is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

The process
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For a summer wedding in Slindon, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the parking spot
Send us the date, the address or BN18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
