Wedding fish and chip van in Crossness
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Crossness
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for seaside-themed weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries.
In Crossness, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Crossness is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding in Crossness. For a summer wedding in Crossness, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Crossness: your questions answered
Can the van park in Lesnes Abbey Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Cross?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Crossness? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
