Golden-hour photos in Kingston Vale at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Kingston Vale
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For barn and farm weddings and evening food for day and evening guests, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.
London weddings around Kingston Vale frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

FAQs for Kingston Vale
Can you serve after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Wimbledon Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Kingston Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
