A chip van near Robertsbridge
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Robertsbridge, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time

A wedding in a small place like Robertsbridge frequently 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. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Questions from Robertsbridge
What’s the nearest station to Robertsbridge?
Robertsbridge has its own station: Robertsbridge station.
We are gathering after a service at Robertsbridge United Reformed Church: 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 long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
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.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
