Wedding fish and chip van in Lampton, cooked to order

A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. We serve sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for pre-wedding get-togethers and garden and marquee receptions.

For a wedding in Lampton, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing has been out for hours. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Why Lampton hosts choose us

  • No kitchen needed
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • All the chip-shop extras

What a fish and chip van costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Service time
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • The day of the week
  • Distance and any road charges

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

What we need to know

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • Expected numbers
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Anything awkward about the way in

A closer look at the menu

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Sausage and chips

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Events we cater in Lampton

It’s ideal for outdoor and rustic weddings, where the van can park near the party.

Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re often booked for:

  • Barn weddings
  • Coastal-themed receptions
  • Garden and marquee receptions
  • Vow renewal parties

Wedding photographers in the area frequently head for Garden Lake, and the countryside around Lampton suits an outdoor reception.

FAQs for Lampton

Can you serve after a service at St Luke?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

What’s the nearest station to Lampton?

The closest is Hounslow station, roughly 0.9 miles away.

Is there a non-fish option?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Can the van come to Lampton?

Yes, we do. Lampton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

When should evening food go out?

At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.

What can guests choose from?

Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

How much space do you need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
