How our wedding fish and chip van works in Silver Street
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversary celebrations and barn weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Silver Street, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
What affects the price in Silver Street
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space and the way in
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Flag coeliac guests early
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Silver Street questions
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you come to Silver Street?
We do. We serve events in Silver Street and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For a summer wedding in Silver Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
