How our wedding fish and chip van works in Pembles Cross
It is relaxed and a little bit fun: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for memorable photos. Whether it is engagement celebrations and second-day and after-party food, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
A wedding in a small place like Pembles Cross often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Food your guests will love
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’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Pembles Cross questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

The closest is Lenham station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.

Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
