How our wedding fish and chip van works in Blacknest
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We’re often asked to cater seaside-themed weddings and barn and farm weddings, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Blacknest frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Blacknest
Is Blacknest close to London?
About 24 miles from central London.
Is Blacknest too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
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.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Blacknest.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Winter weddings in Blacknest are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
