Wedding fish and chip van in Sinkhurst Green, cooked to order
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater barn weddings and pre-wedding get-togethers.
A wedding in a small place like Sinkhurst Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Sinkhurst Green: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
