Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Wiggonholt
How far is Wiggonholt from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Wiggonholt 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.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Do you come to Wiggonholt?
We do. We serve events in Wiggonholt and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
