About our wedding fish and chip van in Three Oaks
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Popular choices include curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater barn weddings and pre-wedding get-togethers.
Near Three Oaks, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Three Oaks questions
Is Three Oaks close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
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.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Do you cover Three Oaks?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Three Oaks and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Three Oaks?
Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, sunset in Three Oaks is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
