How our wedding fish and chip van works in Foots Cray
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. For seaside-themed weddings and rustic farm weddings, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In Foots Cray, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Prices and what affects them

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Foots Cray is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Related guides
Foots Cray: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of All Saints?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Foots Cray Meadows?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can the van come to Foots Cray?
We do. We serve events in Foots Cray and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- 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
