How our wedding fish and chip van works in Woodham

A farm or garden wedding near Woodham suits a chip van. We need a firm spot and access. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Woodham
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Woodham?
The closest is West Byfleet station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
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 many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. For a summer wedding in Woodham, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
