Wedding fish and chip van for Trolliloes events

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Trolliloes

We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary celebrations and evening food for day and evening guests.

A wedding in a small place like Trolliloes often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Step by step

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Evening food at a Trolliloes wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Trolliloes questions

Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Is Trolliloes close to London?

Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Do you do evening food for weddings?

Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Will guests take photos at the van?

Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.

How many evening guests should we cater for?

Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.

How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Trolliloes?

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

What about guests who do not eat fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

A chip van compared with other options

Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

What you get with us

  • We cover Trolliloes and the whole of East Sussex
  • A van that becomes part of the event

Choosing a fish and chip van

Should I sort the food myself?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What affects the price in Trolliloes

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • The menu and how many choices
  • How long we serve
  • How many people are eating
  • Access and parking

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The date and time of the event
  • Expected numbers
  • The venue or postcode

The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Trolliloes, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
