Wedding fish and chip van in Chinbrook
Wedding fish and chip van in Chinbrook, fried fresh
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Whether it is engagement parties and garden and marquee receptions, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a wedding in Chinbrook, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Chinbrook
What about parking in Chinbrook?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at Jubilee International Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van come to Chinbrook?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Chinbrook is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
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 happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, sunset in Chinbrook is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
