Fresh fish and chips in Tyler Hill
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Tyler Hill
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. For seaside-themed weddings and informal weddings, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Tyler Hill, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Winter weddings in Tyler Hill are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Why book with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Hot food handed straight over

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Put bins near the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.

Questions from Tyler Hill
Can you serve near the sea around Tyler Hill?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Tyler Hill close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Tyler Hill?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Planning photos in Tyler Hill Meadow? It is worth checking the park’s rules first. It’s worth telling train travellers that the nearest station is Canterbury West station, about 1.6 miles south.

Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
