Pembury questions
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Pembury?
High Brooms station, about 2.2 miles west of the centre.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Pembury?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Evening food at a Pembury 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.
