How our wedding fish and chip van works in Birchett's Green
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. Typical bookings include wedding after-parties and engagement parties, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Birchett's Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Do not forget your suppliers
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Birchett's Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Birchett's Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
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.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Why us?
- Something for guests to gather round
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- No surprises in your quote
