FAQs for Bexley
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St John the Evangelist: 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’ll gather.
Can the van park in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van come to Bexley?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Bexley is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. Golden-hour photos in Bexley at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your 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’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- 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
As a London location, Bexley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Curry sauce

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Count suppliers working late
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
