How our wedding fish and chip van works in East Sheen
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for second-day and after-party food and laid-back receptions.
For a wedding in East Sheen, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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’s 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.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
East Sheen questions
What’s the nearest station to East Sheen?
Mortlake station, in East Sheen itself.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you come?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
East Sheen 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
