Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Blue Town
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. Whether it is rustic farm weddings and pre-wedding get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Blue Town, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Blue Town
Could you trade in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Trinity?
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 will gather.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you cover Blue Town?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Blue Town is within our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put bins near the van
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Occasions we serve in Blue Town

Barton's Point Coastal Park can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first.
What to look for in a quote
- The cancellation terms
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Any minimum charge
- Allergen information for each item
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A short walk from the party
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
On the menu in Blue Town
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At a December wedding in Blue Town, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
