Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Roser's Cross
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Passingworth Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Bookings across East Sussex, including Roser's Cross
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, sunset in Roser's Cross is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the space and the way in
Send us the date, the address or TN21 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
