How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. For a summer wedding in New Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in New Street
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. We are often asked to cater vow renewals and anniversaries and barn weddings, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like New Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
For event organisers in New Street
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Common questions in New Street
Can the van park in Trosley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Is New Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
There is 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
