Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Wye
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. We are often asked to cater food after the first dance and weddings in a marquee or garden, with mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Near Wye, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Who books wedding fish and chip van in Wye?

What to look for in a quote
- The van’s size and access needs
- If the price includes VAT
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- What the price includes, item by item
What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At a December wedding in Wye, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

- Cod, haddock or both

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Wye
We are gathering after a service at Church of Saint Gregory and Saint Martin: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Count suppliers working late
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
