Wedding fish and chip van for West Wittering events
How our wedding fish and chip van works in West Wittering
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. Whether it is food after the first dance and second-day and after-party food, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near West Wittering, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

For outdoor photos, Pilsey Island is close by. For guests travelling by train, the closest railway station is Nutbourne station, roughly 4.6 miles north of the centre. The sea is within about 4 miles, perfect for a seaside-themed wedding. We’ll plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We cover weddings in every part of PO20. From Royce Way, Elmstead Gardens and Locksash Close or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Step by step
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In West Wittering, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in West Wittering
Do you come out to small places like West Wittering?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around West Wittering?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What time will you serve?
Generally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Will the van be in our photos?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Can the van come to West Wittering?
Yes, we do. West Wittering is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Normally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
There is 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.
