A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Camberwell
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We’re often asked to cater vow renewal parties and seaside-themed weddings, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Couples in Camberwell frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

- A route in without tight gates or low branches

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Camberwell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Details that help
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will check the date and send a price.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. For a summer wedding in Camberwell, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote

FAQs for Camberwell
Is parking a problem for the van in Camberwell?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
We’re gathering after a service at St Giles' Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you cover Camberwell?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Camberwell and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
