Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park

Wedding fish and chip van in Newland Green, fried fresh
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding after-parties and pre-wedding get-togethers.
Rural weddings around Newland Green have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Newland Green?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Questions from Newland Green
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you park near the barn?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Evening food at a Newland Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
