Wedding fish and chip van in Boxley, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We are frequently asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and weddings with a seaside feel, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Boxley, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Boxley?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Where the van can park in Boxley
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Boxley questions
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Boxley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you cover Boxley?
We do. We serve events in Boxley and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How many portions do we need?
Typically most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Boxley, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Count suppliers working late
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
