Wedding fish and chip van in Mark Cross, fried fresh
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Whether it is pre-wedding get-togethers and marquee and garden weddings, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Mark Cross often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
What affects the price in Mark Cross
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- How far we travel
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

Questions from Mark Cross
Can you serve after a service at St Marks?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
