For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Sevenscore
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Typical bookings include day-after gatherings and garden and marquee receptions, with mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Sevenscore, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
A chip van compared with other options
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A clear quote before booking
- Quick service from the hatch
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Among the historic houses close to Sevenscore are Quex Park (2.8 miles north-west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and vehicles.

With the coast within about 4 miles, fish and chips suits a seaside-style wedding. We will think about shelter from sea breezes.
