How our wedding fish and chip van works in Wood Street Village
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. Whether it’s laid-back receptions and rustic farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Wood Street Village often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Wood Street Village
Could you trade in Broadstreet?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Normally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will agree the spot in advance.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Will the van be in our photos?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. At a December wedding in Wood Street Village, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- 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 when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
