Wedding fish and chip van for New Hythe events
Wedding fish and chip van in New Hythe, fried fresh
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and day-after gatherings.
Rural weddings around New Hythe have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in New Hythe
Do you come out to small places like New Hythe?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Golden-hour photos in New Hythe at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- Tell us what you are 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
