How our wedding fish and chip van works in Winton
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Whether it is marquee and garden weddings and evening wedding food, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Near Winton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Winton questions
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Winton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At midsummer, sunset in Winton is about 9:15pm, 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 picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
