About our wedding fish and chip van in Castle Hill
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it is barn weddings and coastal-themed receptions, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural weddings around Castle Hill have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

Castle Hill questions
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Castle Hill?
Paddock Wood station, about 2.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
What you get with us
- A quote that spells everything out

Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In Castle Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, 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 3:55pm.
