A chip van near Westbrook
Wedding fish and chip van in Westbrook, cooked to order
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it’s laid-back receptions and rustic farm weddings, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
A farm or garden wedding near Westbrook suits a chip van. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. At midsummer, sunset in Westbrook is about 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

Westbrook questions
Is Westbrook close to London?
About 63 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
