Wedding fish and chip van in Kiln Green, cooked to order
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Typical bookings include engagement parties and vow renewals and anniversaries, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Kiln Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Kiln Green: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Saint Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Kiln Green from London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you come to Kiln Green?
We do. We serve events in Kiln Green and across Wokingham. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. Winter weddings in Kiln Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
