A chip van near Kit's Coty
Wedding fish and chip van in Kit's Coty, cooked to order
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. Typical bookings include informal weddings and weddings in a marquee or garden, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Kit's Coty 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. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Kit's Coty
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Plan bins by the hatch
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Common questions in Kit's Coty
Can the van park in Westfield Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
How far is Kit's Coty from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
