Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Westdean
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and seaside-themed weddings.
Near Westdean, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding. For a summer wedding in Westdean, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Is Westdean too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.

Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
