Wedding fish and chip van in Dungeness, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Whether it’s garden and marquee receptions and laid-back receptions, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips and more.
Near Dungeness, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Plan bins by the hatch
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
What affects the price in Dungeness

The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Dungeness 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
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan where the queue will stand

How far is Dungeness from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
