Wedding fish and chip van in Boughton Lees, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. We serve curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and rustic farm weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Boughton Lees, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Boughton Lees
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Boughton Lees?
Wye station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

- Do not forget your suppliers
- Flag coeliac guests early
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
