How our wedding fish and chip van works in Oad Street
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for weddings in a marquee or garden and food after the first dance.
Rural weddings around Oad Street have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

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

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Oad Street
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Oad Street from London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will fit your running order.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
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.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Put bins near the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
