Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Kentsboro
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Whether it is engagement celebrations and second-day and after-party food, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Kentsboro 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 serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
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.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will check the date and send a price.
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a summer wedding in Kentsboro, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- 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
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
