About our wedding fish and chip van in Conyer
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding after-parties and laid-back receptions.
There is something special about a country wedding near Conyer, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

What else we do in Conyer
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

The closest is Teynham station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Is Conyer too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
