Looking after everyone

- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation

- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Frinsted
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. For rustic farm weddings and laid-back receptions, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Frinsted often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

What’s the nearest station to Frinsted?
Harrietsham station, about 3 miles south-west of the centre.
Who clears up?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. There’s 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 with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Classic food your guests already know
