Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Udimore
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Whether it’s seaside-themed weddings and day-after gatherings, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Udimore, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding. At midsummer, sunset in Udimore is about 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Occasions we serve in Udimore
It is frequently good value next to the wedding breakfast, which helps the budget go further.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Udimore, people book us for events such as:
- Barn and farm weddings
- Anniversary celebrations
- Wedding after-parties
- Informal weddings
Flatropers Wood nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos, and the countryside around Udimore suits an outdoor reception.
What to look for in a quote
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- Whether there’s a minimum
- Allergen information for each item
- The deadline for final numbers
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space and the way in
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Questions from Udimore
Which station is closest to Udimore?
Winchelsea station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
Is Udimore close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
