Culmers: your questions answered
How far is Culmers from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Culmers?
The closest is Faversham station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Evening food at a Culmers wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
