About our wedding fish and chip van in Little London
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include evening food for day and evening guests and weddings with a seaside feel, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Little London, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Common questions in Little London
Do you come out to small places like Little London?
No, we come to small places too. 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.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you cover Little London?
We do. Little London is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Winter weddings in Little London are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
