Wedding fish and chip van in Old Heathfield, cooked to order
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. For engagement celebrations and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Rural weddings around Old Heathfield have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

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