Wedding fish and chip van for Hunton events
Wedding venues and ceremonies near Hunton
Hunton is about 4 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Anywhere in ME15, we can fry fresh for your guests. We take the van to 922 places in Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Hunton to Canterbury (about 27 miles away).
After a ceremony at a church like St Mary's Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. If you’re hoping for photos in Quarry Wood, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings.
Weddings anywhere in ME15 start with a parking spot for the van. Whether your wedding is on West Street, Bensted Close and Bishop's Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. For weddings just outside Hunton, we cover Benover (1 mile west), Yalding (1 mile north-west), Congelow (1 mile west), Chainhurst (1 mile south-east) and Laddingford (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (4 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (13 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south-west), Gravesend (15 miles north) and Tonbridge (8 miles west).

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Hunton
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Typical bookings include vow renewal parties and seaside-themed weddings, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Hunton 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. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Questions from Hunton
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Evening food at a Hunton wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

A chip van compared with other options
