Wedding fish and chip van in Greenwich
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Greenwich
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We are frequently asked to cater seaside-themed weddings and laid-back receptions, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Couples in Greenwich often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
For evening food with a bit of fun, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Questions from Greenwich
Could you trade in Island Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Greenwich?
Greenwich has its own station: Maze Hill station.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Greenwich.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Greenwich is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Golden-hour photos in Greenwich at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Any minimum charge

- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
