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. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Classic food your guests already know
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Bookings across Kent, including Seaton

Wedding fish and chip van in Seaton, fried fresh
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming late in the evening. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for wedding after-parties and informal weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Seaton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
What else we do in Seaton
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a summer wedding in Seaton, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm 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 3:50pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

For planners, venues and organisers

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Questions from Seaton
Do you come out to small places like Seaton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Count suppliers working late
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put bins near the van
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
