Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Wellbrook
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming late in the evening. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for rustic farm weddings and engagement celebrations.
A wedding in a small place like Wellbrook often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Questions from Wellbrook
Which station is closest to Wellbrook?
Crowborough station, about 3.3 miles north-west of the centre.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How many portions do we need?
Normally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Wellbrook?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
When should evening food go out?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will fit your running order.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.

- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter weddings in Wellbrook are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
