Questions from Waldron
Which station is closest to Waldron?
Buxted station, about 4.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Put bins near the van
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Count suppliers working late
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
