Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Anvil Green
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. On the menu are cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for wedding after-parties and engagement parties.
Rural weddings around Anvil Green have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Anvil Green questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Anvil Green?
The closest is Chilham station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your wedding in Anvil Green. Evening food at a Anvil Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
