We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. For engagement parties and coastal-themed receptions, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Ticehurst often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. 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.

Ticehurst: your questions answered
Is Ticehurst too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
Where the van can park in Ticehurst
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Ticehurst?
Next to a cold buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing has been out for hours. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why Ticehurst hosts choose us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Quick service from the hatch
- Classic food your guests already know

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
