Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Count suppliers working late
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Kent Street
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and engagement parties, with cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Kent Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: 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, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding in Kent Street. In Kent Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Kent Street
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Kent Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
