FAQs for Breach
Can the van go 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.
Could you trade in Berengrave Chalk Pit?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will agree the spot in advance.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.

Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
