How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. For a summer wedding in Kennington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Where the van can park in Kennington
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Kennington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
