Wedding fish and chip van in Crofton Park, fried fresh
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for engagement parties and second-day and after-party food.
London weddings around Crofton Park often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At a December wedding in Crofton Park, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Common questions in Crofton Park
What’s the nearest station to Crofton Park?
Crofton Park has its own station: Crofton Park station.
Is parking a problem for the van in Crofton Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Crofton Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
