Ditton: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Ditton?
Datchet station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Ditton 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.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
Can the van come to Ditton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Ditton is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Ditton
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For engagement parties and rustic farm weddings, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Ditton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

What else we do in Ditton
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
How the day works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Golden-hour photos in Ditton at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
