About our wedding fish and chip van in West Chiltington Common
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and coastal-themed receptions.
For a smaller place like West Chiltington Common, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a firm spot and access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Common questions in West Chiltington Common
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is West Chiltington Common close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Why choose a fish and chip van in West Chiltington Common?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in West Chiltington Common? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Talk to us about evening numbers
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
