Common questions in Vigo Village
Is Vigo Village too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Vigo Village
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. For pre-wedding get-togethers and second-day and after-party food, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Vigo Village often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Why choose wedding fish and chip van in Vigo Village?
Rain does not stop the fryers, which takes one worry off the list.
In Vigo Village and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Getting married in Vigo Village?
Vigo Village is about 7 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. People in Vigo Village book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We take the van to 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 23 miles away.
Put the station on your invitation: Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 3.6 miles south-west, is the nearest station. Nearby historic houses include Cobham College (4.4 miles north) and Starkey Castle (4.8 miles north-east).

With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 8 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the van.
Anywhere in DA13, we can fry fresh for your guests. That could mean a wedding at a home on Beech Mast, Erskine Road and Admers Way, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Events in Vigo Village and across Kent
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For a summer wedding in Vigo Village, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
