Wedding fish and chip van in Kevington, fried fresh
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for second-day and after-party food and weddings with a seaside feel.
London weddings around Kevington often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Kevington? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

Kevington questions
What’s the nearest station to Kevington?
The closest is St Mary Cray station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
What about parking in Kevington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
