Wedding fish and chip van for Greatham events
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a summer wedding in Greatham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van

Wedding fish and chip van in Greatham, cooked to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for second-day and after-party food and food after the first dance.
A wedding in a small place like Greatham frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Greatham: your questions answered
How far is Greatham from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Greatham?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 2 miles away.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van come to Greatham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Greatham is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Do not forget your suppliers
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
