A chip van near Leamouth
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Leamouth
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We are often asked to cater food after the first dance and garden and marquee receptions, with mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In Leamouth, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Leamouth: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Luke: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Bow Creek Ecology Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Leamouth?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Leamouth, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers

Before you choose a spot

- The site’s agreement to a catering van

Leamouth is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

People get hungry again by the evening, and a chip van gives guests something hot and generous. It’s also a talking point.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Vow renewals and anniversaries
- Weddings with a seaside feel
- Barn weddings
- Informal weddings
Couples marrying at local churches such as Church of St Luke often hold the reception nearby, with the van parked by the marquee or hall.
What your quote should include
- How late numbers can change

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
