About our wedding fish and chip van in Farthing Green
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Whether it’s pre-wedding get-togethers and coastal-themed receptions, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Farthing Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Farthing 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.
How far is Farthing Green from London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Farthing Green.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In Farthing Green, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
