There’s something special about a country wedding near Wrotham, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Wrotham
Do you come out to small places like Wrotham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you cover Wrotham?
Yes, we do. Wrotham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

What else we do in Wrotham
Cannot 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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What a fish and chip van costs

What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a summer wedding in Wrotham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

- We check the route in and send a price.
