About our wedding fish and chip van in Erith
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it is most welcome. Whether it’s food after the first dance and relaxed, informal receptions, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For a wedding in Erith, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. At midsummer, sunset in Erith is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Share the timings for the day
