Wedding fish and chip van in Farleigh Green, fried fresh
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. For engagement celebrations and relaxed, informal receptions, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
A wedding in a small place like Farleigh Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Winter weddings in Farleigh Green are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Where the van can park in Farleigh Green
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book our van in Farleigh Green
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cover Farleigh Green and the whole of Kent
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Farleigh Green
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
