Common questions in Wolverton
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Wolverton close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
A chip van compared with other options

Getting married in Wolverton?
Wolverton is about 3 miles west of Dover, in Kent. We cover Wolverton as standard, so your wedding just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Acrise Place (4.6 miles west). Historic houses and estates frequently have rules on catering vans, so check early if that’s your venue. Marrying at Church of St Anthony the Martyr? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 6 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the van. The sea is within about 4 miles, perfect for a seaside-themed wedding. We will plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
