A chip van near Witley
Witley: your questions answered
Is Witley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
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.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Wedding fish and chip van in Witley, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. For seaside-themed weddings and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Rural weddings around Witley have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Witley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

About the food
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
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
