Fresh fish and chips in Gill's Green
Wedding fish and chip van in Gill's Green, cooked to order
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. For second-day and after-party food and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Gill's Green, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Winter weddings in Gill's Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

FAQs for Gill's Green
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
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 follow the site rules.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Talk to us about evening numbers
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
