After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Mary, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. Planning photos in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?

Wedding fish and chip van in Stalisfield Green, fried fresh
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Whether it is vow renewal parties and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Stalisfield Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Stalisfield Green
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Put bins near the van
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Don’t forget your suppliers
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Stalisfield Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
