Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Single Street
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement celebrations and evening food for day and evening guests.
Couples in Single Street frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Single Street: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
