A chip van near Blendon
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. In Blendon, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Blendon
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Whether it’s engagement celebrations and marquee and garden weddings, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
London weddings around Blendon frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Where the van can park in Blendon
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Blendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Questions from Blendon
We are gathering after a service at St James the Great: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
When should evening food go out?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal that guests remember. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

For event organisers in Blendon
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
