Questions from Puddledock
Can the van go 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.
What about parking in Puddledock?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Wedding fish and chip van in Puddledock, cooked to order
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Typical bookings include seaside-themed weddings and wedding after-parties, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In Puddledock, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Puddledock, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal that guests remember. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Puddledock is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For event organisers in Puddledock
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
