Wedding fish and chip van in West Chiltington, cooked to order
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and evening wedding food, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
There’s something special about a country wedding near West Chiltington, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in West Chiltington
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like West Chiltington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
