About our wedding fish and chip van in Wineham
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it’s barn and farm weddings and laid-back receptions, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near Wineham, 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. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Wineham
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Wineham close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will fit your running order.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
A chip van compared with other options
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal that guests remember. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why Wineham hosts choose us

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. At a December wedding in Wineham, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
