Wedding fish and chip van in Hither Green, fried fresh
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for food after the first dance and rustic farm weddings.
In Hither Green, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How the day works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, sunset in Hither Green is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
