Fresh fish and chips in Warnham
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Warnham
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Whether it’s second-day and after-party food and marquee and garden weddings, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Rural weddings around Warnham 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, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.

Warnham weddings: local tips
Warnham is about 2 miles north-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. From the centre of Warnham to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover 371 places in West Sussex. We serve events right across the region, from Warnham to Guildford (15 miles away).
If you’re hoping for photos in Warnham Park, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings. Couples marrying at local churches such as The Parish Church of St Margaret often hold the reception nearby, with the van parked by the marquee or hall. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Warnham, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the van.
This part of West Sussex takes in RH12, and we can serve your wedding anywhere in it. Local streets include Hollands Way, Stanford Orchard and Gardeners Close; a wedding on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to weddings in Broadbridge Heath (2 miles south), Holbrook (2 miles east), Horsham (2 miles south-east), Rowhook (2 miles west) and Tower Hill (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Crawley (7 miles east), Haywards Heath (13 miles south-east), Burgess Hill (13 miles south-east), East Grinstead (15 miles east), Broadfield (6 miles east) and Storrington (12 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Horsham Hospital (1.8 miles south-east) and Christs Hospital School Museum (3.2 miles south). Open spaces near Warnham include Warnham LNR and Vann Lake.
- Local schools include Farlington School (1.3 miles west) and Greenway Academy (1.5 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Greets Inn (under half a mile south-west)
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening food at a Warnham wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.

Questions from Warnham
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Margaret: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How many portions do we need?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
