How our wedding fish and chip van works in New Romney
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. For pre-wedding get-togethers and informal weddings, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In New Romney, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

New Romney questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Put bins near the van
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Why choose a fish and chip van in New Romney?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At a December wedding in New Romney, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
