Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Rodmersham Green
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Whether it is seaside-themed weddings and food after the first dance, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Rodmersham Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Rodmersham Green questions
Is Rodmersham Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Rodmersham Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
