Near Broad Oak, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. 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. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In Broad Oak, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- 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.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
