How our wedding fish and chip van works in Kimbridge
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and barn weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Kimbridge, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
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 a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Questions from Kimbridge
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
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.
Which station is closest to Kimbridge?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Kimbridge.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Kimbridge?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding in Kimbridge. For a summer wedding in Kimbridge, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
