Wedding fish and chip van for Long Ditton events
Wedding fish and chip van in Long Ditton, fried fresh
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for anniversary celebrations and wedding after-parties.
London weddings around Long Ditton frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Where the van can park in Long Ditton
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Long Ditton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Long Ditton
Can the van park in Stokes Field?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Long Ditton?
The closest is Surbiton station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
