Common questions in Lower Horsebridge
Which station is closest to Lower Horsebridge?
The closest is Polegate station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Lower Horsebridge
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include day-after gatherings and barn and farm weddings, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Lower Horsebridge, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
