Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Addington

Do you come out to small places like Addington?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Could you trade in Manor Park Country Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

What food do you serve?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Can you do our evening wedding food?

Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.

What does the van need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Will guests take photos at the van?

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

Is the food cooked at the event?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Can you park near the barn?

Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.

How the day works

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Golden-hour photos in Addington at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
We check access at the venue and send a price.
Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
