About our wedding fish and chip van in Peasmarsh

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In Peasmarsh, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Peasmarsh
How far is Peasmarsh from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at St Michael?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What about guests who do not 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 fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Put bins near the van
It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
