Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in New Ash Green
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and pre-wedding get-togethers, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like New Ash Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. At a December wedding in New Ash Green, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Ensure the van can get in
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or DA3 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
New Ash Green: your questions answered
How far is New Ash Green from London?
About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
