Wedding fish and chip van in Westhampnett, cooked to order
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. For coastal-themed receptions and second-day and after-party food, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
Rural weddings around Westhampnett have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. Golden-hour photos in Westhampnett at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Diets, allergies and planning

- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van

- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan bins by the hatch
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
