About our wedding fish and chip van in Wivelsfield
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We are frequently asked to cater anniversary celebrations and engagement parties, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Near Wivelsfield, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
