How our wedding fish and chip van works in Ashburton
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Typical bookings include second-day and after-party food and evening wedding food, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
London weddings around Ashburton often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

- Plan bins by the hatch
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation

Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have a lot of guests.

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts.

- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Ashburton: your questions answered
Could you trade in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Ashburton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you cover Ashburton?
Yes, we do. Ashburton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Ashburton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
