How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, sunset in Aperfield is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Aperfield questions
We are gathering after a service at St Mark'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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Aperfield?
Oxted station, about 4 miles south-west of the centre.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you come to Aperfield?
We do. Aperfield is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Aperfield 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 before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
