Wedding fish and chip van in Hodsoll Street, cooked to order
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for evening wedding food and rustic farm weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Hodsoll Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Hodsoll Street questions
How far is Hodsoll Street from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Hodsoll Street?
Meopham station, about 3.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Evening food at a Hodsoll Street wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.

What else we do in Hodsoll Street
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
