Near Tudeley, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. 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.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
