Wedding fish and chip van in Eastchurch
Wedding fish and chip van in Eastchurch, cooked to order
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater vow renewal parties and relaxed, informal receptions.
Near Eastchurch, 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. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For event organisers in Eastchurch
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For a summer wedding in Eastchurch, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.

Eastchurch questions
Is Eastchurch close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Is Eastchurch too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
