- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Chelsea
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for wedding after-parties and anniversary celebrations.
In Chelsea, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Chelsea is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

What else we do in Chelsea
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Chelsea
What’s the nearest station to Chelsea?
The closest is London Victoria station, roughly 1 mile away.
We’re gathering after a service at Former Welsh Congregational 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Count suppliers working late
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
