How our wedding fish and chip van works in Golden Green
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Typical bookings include coastal-themed receptions and informal weddings, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Near Golden Green, weddings are frequently 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. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Common questions in Golden Green
Which station is closest to Golden Green?
The closest is Beltring station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Is Golden Green close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When should evening food go out?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Count suppliers working late
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
