About our wedding fish and chip van in Westfield
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We are frequently asked to cater laid-back receptions and garden and marquee receptions, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Westfield frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A clear quote before booking
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Weddings in Westfield: venues, ceremonies and travel
Westfield is about 3 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Bookings in Westfield come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Westfield is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Westfield to Brighton (about 31 miles away).
Couples marrying at local churches such as The Parish Church of St John the Baptist frequently hold the reception nearby, with the van parked by the marquee or hall. For outdoor photos, Church Wood and Robsack Wood is close by, and the countryside around Westfield suits an outdoor reception. With the coast within about 4 miles, fish and chips suits a seaside-style wedding. We will think about shelter from sea breezes.
Anywhere in TN35, we can bring the van to you. Streets in the area include Moor Lane, Heathlands and South Terrace, and the van can serve a wedding on any of them with a suitable parking spot. For weddings just outside Westfield, we cover Kent Street (1 mile west), Brede (2 miles north-east), Cackle Street (2 miles north), Sedlescombe (3 miles north-west) and Telham (3 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Eastbourne (15 miles south-west), Hastings (3 miles south), Bexhill-on-Sea (6 miles south-west), Hailsham (14 miles west), St Leonards (4 miles south) and Hastings Old Town (4 miles south).

- Schools near Westfield include Ark Helenswood Academy (1.6 miles south)
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Westfield, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Westfield questions
Do you come out to small places like Westfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St John the Baptist?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you come to Westfield?
Yes, we do. Westfield is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Count suppliers working late
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
What a fish and chip van costs
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
