FAQs for Hollywater
Can you serve after a service at St Mark's Sacred Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Hollywater from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you park near the barn?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van come to Hollywater?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Hollywater. To check your date, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- 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
