Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Bowes Park 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 will advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips

- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Questions from Bowes Park
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Greek Orthodox Church: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Bowes Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
What time is best for the van?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
A chip van compared with other options
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
