- The length of service
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Wedding fish and chip van in Horns Green, fried fresh
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Whether it is engagement parties and vow renewal parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Horns Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At midsummer, sunset in Horns Green is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Common questions in Horns Green
How far is Horns Green from London?
Roughly 15 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What time will you serve?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van come to Horns Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Horns Green and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
