Wedding fish and chip van for Camber events
About our wedding fish and chip van in Camber
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for garden and marquee receptions and vow renewal parties.
Near Camber, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: 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, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

If you want countryside in your photos, Rye Harbour Nature Reserve is not far, and the countryside around Camber suits an outdoor reception.

Questions from Camber
Is Camber too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at St Thomas the Apostle: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
