Wedding fish and chip van in Strettington, cooked to order
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We are frequently asked to cater barn weddings and food after the first dance, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Rural weddings around Strettington have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Before you choose a 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:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A chip van compared with other options

Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for Strettington
What’s the nearest station to Strettington?
Chichester station, about 2.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Strettington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
