Wedding fish and chip van in Wigmore
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Wigmore
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We are frequently asked to cater weddings with a seaside feel and laid-back receptions, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
A farm or garden wedding near Wigmore suits a chip van. We need a firm spot and access. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen needed
- Bookings across Medway, including Wigmore
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Wigmore: your questions answered
Can the van park in Foxburrow Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Wigmore close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Medway included. See all areas.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
