Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Knox Bridge
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. For anniversary celebrations and pre-wedding get-togethers, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
Rural weddings around Knox Bridge have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Golden-hour photos in Knox Bridge at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Knox Bridge: your questions answered
Is Knox Bridge close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Knox Bridge?
The closest is Staplehurst station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Generally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
What affects the price in Knox Bridge
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
On the menu in Knox Bridge

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Plan bins by the hatch
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
