Wedding fish and chip van for Hextable events
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Hextable
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it is vow renewal parties and coastal-themed receptions, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Weddings in a place like Hextable often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At a December wedding in Hextable, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Count suppliers working late
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Planning photos in Dartford Heath? It’s worth checking the park’s rules first. Guests coming by rail will want to know that Swanley station is about 1.5 miles away. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Hextable, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the van.

Common questions in Hextable
How far is Hextable from London?
Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Hextable?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
