About our wedding fish and chip van in Lions Green
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. For rustic farm weddings and day-after gatherings, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
Near Lions Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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 typically the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding

Questions from Lions Green
Is Lions Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can the van come to Lions Green?
We do. We serve events in Lions Green and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
