The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Winter weddings in Clement Street are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Clement Street
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. We’re frequently asked to cater informal weddings and pre-wedding get-togethers, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Clement Street, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

FAQs for Clement Street
Which station is closest to Clement Street?
The closest is Farningham Road station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
