About our wedding fish and chip van in Chale Green
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for barn and farm weddings and weddings in a marquee or garden.
Near Chale Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Evening food at a Chale Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

Chale Green questions
Can you serve after a service at St. James' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Chale Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. See all areas.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
