Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Kennington
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We serve curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for pre-wedding get-togethers and laid-back receptions.
In Kennington, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Common questions in Kennington
How far is Kennington from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Who books wedding fish and chip van in Kennington?
The van keeps cooking in any weather, which takes one worry off the list.
Here are some of the occasions we serve around Kennington:
- Pre-wedding get-togethers
- Seaside-themed weddings

Conningbrook Lakes Country Park can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first.

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Flag coeliac guests early
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Kennington?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. At a December wedding in Kennington, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
