Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Lee
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s often a yard or track close to the party. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for laid-back receptions and weddings in a marquee or garden.
Near Lee, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

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. At a December wedding in Lee, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Common questions in Lee
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Lee too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips

- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Organising a club, school or community event in Lee? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
