Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Romney Street
Could you trade in Kemsing Down?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What time will you serve?
Generally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will fit your running order.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Will the van be in our photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
