Fresh fish and chips in Seasalter
About our wedding fish and chip van in Seasalter
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. We are frequently asked to cater informal weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, with mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Seasalter, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Seasalter
Is Seasalter too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Seasalter Levels?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Typically most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.

What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. At a December wedding in Seasalter, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
