Wedding fish and chip van for Blackheath events
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Blackheath
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee or garden and evening food for day and evening guests, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For a wedding in Blackheath, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Blackheath 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 will advise.
Popular choices
- Curry sauce
- Evening fish and chips

Blackheath questions
Could you trade in Manor House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Blackheath?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Don’t forget your suppliers
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Blackheath, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
