Wedding fish and chip van in Guestling, cooked to order
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 coastal-themed receptions and day-after gatherings, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Guestling 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. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Guestling questions
Can you serve after a service at St Laurence's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Guestling close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you cover Guestling?
We do. Guestling is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Perfect for your wedding in Guestling
A chip van brings a relaxed, fun feel to the evening. The hatch becomes a meeting point.
Whatever the occasion in Guestling, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Engagement parties
- Second-day and after-party food
- Relaxed, informal receptions
- Coastal-themed receptions
After a ceremony at a church like St Laurence's Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
