Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Longfield Hill
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We serve sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for second-day and after-party food and evening food for day and evening guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Longfield Hill, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Longfield Hill
Is Longfield Hill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you cover Longfield Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Longfield Hill is within our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 generally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Weddings in Longfield Hill: venues, ceremonies and travel
Longfield Hill is about 3 miles south of Northfleet, in Kent.

After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Mildred, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.

Where the van can park in Longfield Hill

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan bins by the hatch
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Longfield Hill wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
