Wedding fish and chip van in Mayfield, cooked to order
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We’re frequently asked to cater laid-back receptions and vow renewals and anniversaries, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Rural weddings around Mayfield have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

For event organisers in Mayfield
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Mayfield: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St. Dunstan?
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.
Is Mayfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van come to Mayfield?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Mayfield is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, 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.
Who books wedding fish and chip van in Mayfield?

What else we do in Mayfield
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Mayfield
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Winter weddings in Mayfield are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- 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.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
