How our wedding fish and chip van works in South Mundham
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. For wedding after-parties and vow renewals and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
A wedding in a small place like South Mundham frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. At midsummer, sunset in South Mundham is about 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.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Classic food your guests already know
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
