Evening food keeps the party going, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. Typical bookings include laid-back receptions and seaside-themed weddings, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
For a wedding in Addington, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Addington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- Service time
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Addington, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time

Addington: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Addington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have a lot of guests.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Who books wedding fish and chip van in Addington?
It usually costs far less per head than the main meal, which helps the budget go further.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Barn and farm weddings
- Food after the first dance

If you want countryside in your photos, Bramley Bank is not far, and the countryside around Addington suits an outdoor reception.
