Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Kidbrooke

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A quote that spells everything out
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Count suppliers working late
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

Kidbrooke weddings: local tips
Kidbrooke is about 2 miles north of Eltham, in Greater London. Bookings in Kidbrooke come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Kidbrooke is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Kidbrooke to London (about 6 miles away).
For outdoor photos, Birdbrook Road Nature Reserve is close by. Within reach of Kidbrooke are historic houses such as Eltham Palace (1.3 miles south) and Queen's House (2.3 miles north-west). Grand venues like these generally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking.
This part of Greater London takes in SE3, SE9 and SE18, and we can serve your wedding anywhere in it. From Brome Road, Briset Road and Nesbit Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to weddings in Well Hall (1 mile south-east), Shooter's Hill (1 mile east), Middle Park (1 mile south), Horn Park (1 mile south-west) and Blackheath (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (6 miles west), City of Westminster (9 miles west), Marylebone (9 miles north-west), Kensington (11 miles west), St Pancras (8 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (7 miles north-west).

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
FAQs for Kidbrooke
What’s the nearest station to Kidbrooke?
Kidbrooke station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Kidbrooke?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Kidbrooke?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At a December wedding in Kidbrooke, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
