How our wedding fish and chip van works in Westbourne
Couples love the relaxed feel: guests in their wedding best queuing for fish and chips makes for memorable photos. We’re often asked to cater informal weddings and garden and marquee receptions, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In Westbourne, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. For a summer wedding in Westbourne, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- 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.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van

Questions from Westbourne
We are gathering after a service at St Stephen's Church: can you come?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Normally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- Service time
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will come back with availability and a quote.

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
