How our wedding fish and chip van works in Pollhill
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. For second-day and after-party food and pre-wedding get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Pollhill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Pollhill?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal that guests remember. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Pollhill
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 work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Typically most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Pollhill.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
