How our wedding fish and chip van works in Deptford
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and anniversary celebrations.
London weddings around Deptford frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
