Fresh fish and chips in Woodside Green
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Woodside Green
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We’re often asked to cater evening wedding food and laid-back receptions, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Near Woodside Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

What else we do in Woodside Green
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. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Questions from Woodside Green
Can the van go 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 follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Kiln Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
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 will confirm what we need.
Will the van be in our photos?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.

Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Woodside Green.
