Fresh fish and chips in Ditton Hill
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Ditton Hill
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for barn and farm weddings and informal weddings.
Couples in Ditton Hill often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need off-road parking near the reception. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Ditton Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs

- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Ditton Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

FAQs for Ditton Hill
What’s the nearest station to Ditton Hill?
The closest is Surbiton station, roughly 1 mile away.
Could you trade in Stokes Field?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t 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.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
