Wedding fish and chip van in Cramhurst
Wedding fish and chip van in Cramhurst, cooked to order
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We are often asked to cater engagement celebrations and evening food for day and evening guests, with cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Cramhurst, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

FAQs for Cramhurst
Do you come out to small places like Cramhurst?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Rodborough Common?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will agree the spot in advance.

- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
