Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Colliers Wood
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We’re often asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and engagement parties, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For a wedding in Colliers Wood, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Golden-hour photos in Colliers Wood at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Share the timings for the day

FAQs for Colliers Wood
Which station is closest to Colliers Wood?
Tooting station, in Colliers Wood itself.
What about parking in Colliers Wood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will fit your running order.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
