Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Boughton under Blean
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for anniversary celebrations and garden and marquee receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Boughton under Blean 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. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count suppliers working late
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Boughton under Blean questions
Is Boughton under Blean too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Boughton under Blean?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- No surprises in your quote
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A van that becomes part of the event

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In Boughton under Blean, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
