Wedding fish and chip van in Lullingstone, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. For engagement celebrations and coastal-themed receptions, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Lullingstone, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Questions from Lullingstone
We are gathering after a service at Church of Saint Botolph: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Raspberry Hall Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Lullingstone?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.

Food your guests will love
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.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking 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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At a December wedding in Lullingstone, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
