How our wedding fish and chip van works in Battersea
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for day-after gatherings and coastal-themed receptions.
For a wedding in Battersea, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Battersea, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Battersea is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Can you serve after a service at Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
