Wedding fish and chip van in Worthing
About our wedding fish and chip van in Worthing
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Typical bookings include food after the first dance and day-after gatherings, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Worthing has plenty of wedding venues, from hotels and function rooms to clubs and gardens. A chip van suits a reception with somewhere to park outside. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Do you come to Worthing?

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why Worthing hosts choose us
- We cover Worthing and the whole of West Sussex
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In Worthing, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Ensure the van can get in

Where the van can park in Worthing
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
