DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Addiscombe is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Addiscombe
We are gathering after a service at St Mildred's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Ashburton Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
What time is best for the van?
Normally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll fit your running order.
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.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Can you park near the barn?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
What a fish and chip van costs

What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the space and the way in
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
