Wedding fish and chip van in Hillstreet, fried fresh
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is usually somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for informal weddings and evening wedding food.

Hillstreet: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Hillstreet?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Hillstreet too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van come to Hillstreet?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Hillstreet is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Usually most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
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. Your quote spells it all out.
