Wedding fish and chip van in Three Leg Cross, cooked to order
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We’re frequently asked to cater coastal-themed receptions and food after the first dance, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Three Leg Cross, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Planning wedding fish and chips in Three Leg Cross
Three Leg Cross is about 8 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. We take a fish and chip van for your wedding to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Three Leg Cross and nearby villages. We cover all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex.

For weddings in TN5, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. If your venue is just outside Three Leg Cross, we also cover Ticehurst (1 mile south-east), Stonecrouch (1 mile north-east), Flimwell (2 miles east), Kilndown (2 miles north) and Bedgebury Cross (3 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Hastings (15 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (15 miles south), Hailsham (15 miles south-west), Crowborough (10 miles west), St Leonards (15 miles south-east) and Uckfield (14 miles south-west).

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Count suppliers working late
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
