Wedding fish and chip van in Yapton
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Yapton
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We are often asked to cater day-after gatherings and evening food for day and evening guests, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In Yapton, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Evening food at a Yapton wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Common questions in Yapton
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Yapton?
Barnham station, about 1.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Can you park near the barn?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you come to Yapton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Yapton is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
