About our wedding fish and chip van in Hollybushes
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Whether it is barn weddings and garden and marquee receptions, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Rural weddings around Hollybushes have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Common questions in Hollybushes
Could you trade in Cromers Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hollybushes?
The closest is Sittingbourne station, roughly 3.7 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
