Wedding fish and chip van in Littlebourne
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Littlebourne
Which station is closest to Littlebourne?
The closest is Bekesbourne station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Vincent: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Questions to ask before booking

- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- Payment terms and deposit
- What the van needs: space, access, power
What affects the price in Littlebourne
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Do not forget your suppliers
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book our van in Littlebourne
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Winter weddings in Littlebourne are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
