Wedding fish and chip van in Ash Green
About our wedding fish and chip van in Ash Green
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for informal weddings and weddings with a seaside feel.
Rural weddings around Ash Green have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Ash Green
Can the van park in Aldershot Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is Ash Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
