Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Bredgar
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Whether it’s coastal-themed receptions and evening food for day and evening guests, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Bredgar, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Count suppliers working late
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Bredgar questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Bredgar?
The closest is Sittingbourne station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
