About our wedding fish and chip van in Pett
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Whether it is barn and farm weddings and seaside-themed weddings, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Pett often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At a December wedding in Pett, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for

- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
FAQs for Pett
We are gathering after a service at St Mary & St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Pett from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
What affects the price in Pett
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
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.
Getting married in Pett?

Historic houses near Pett include Lamb House (4.7 miles north-east). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and vehicles. After a ceremony at a church like St Mary & St Peter, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. The sea is within about 5 miles, perfect for a seaside-themed wedding. We’ll plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Anywhere in TN35, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your wedding is on Elms Lane, Pett Road and Chick Hill or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Other places close to Pett we cover include Fairlight Cove (1 mile south), Friar's Hill (1 mile west), Guestling Green (2 miles west), Fairlight (2 miles south-west) and Guestling (2 miles west).

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
