Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Littlestone-on-Sea

Rural weddings around Littlestone-on-Sea have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
FAQs for Littlestone-on-Sea
Can the van park in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
