Near Linkhill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In Linkhill, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.

Common questions in Linkhill
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Linkhill close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How many portions do we need?
Generally most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
A chip van compared with other options
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
