About our wedding fish and chip van in Titsey
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for weddings with a seaside feel and marquee and garden weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Titsey, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Questions from Titsey
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Titsey too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you park near the barn?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not 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.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Talk to us about evening numbers
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Service time
