How our wedding fish and chip van works in Sheet Hill
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Whether it is second-day and after-party food and anniversary celebrations, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Sheet Hill, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Golden-hour photos in Sheet Hill at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

FAQs for Sheet Hill
Is Sheet Hill close to London?
About 23 miles from central London.
Can the van park in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Will the van be in our photos?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
