Wedding fish and chip van for Avery Hill events
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Avery Hill
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it is most welcome. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for barn weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries.
In Avery Hill, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What else we do in Avery Hill
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Avery Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Put bins near the van
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. Winter weddings in Avery Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare

Planning help
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
