How our wedding fish and chip van works in Kingston upon Thames
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. We are frequently asked to cater day-after gatherings and barn weddings, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In Kingston upon Thames, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Kingston upon Thames questions
Could you trade in Canbury Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Kingston upon Thames?
Kingston upon Thames has its own station: Kingston station.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Kingston upon Thames?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Take a look at our pricing or what a fish and chip van costs.
What affects the price in Kingston upon Thames
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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 is fried on the spot.
