About our wedding fish and chip van in Wingham
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. We are frequently asked to cater garden and marquee receptions and food after the first dance, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Wingham, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Questions from Wingham
Is Wingham 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.
How far is Wingham from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your wedding. For a summer wedding in Wingham, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go

Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
