About our wedding fish and chip van in Petts Wood
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Whether it is marquee and garden weddings and second-day and after-party food, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For a wedding in Petts Wood, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What else we do in Petts Wood
Where the van can park in Petts Wood
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Petts Wood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Put bins near the van
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Petts Wood questions
What’s the nearest station to Petts Wood?
Petts Wood has its own station: Petts Wood station.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park near the barn?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
