Planning wedding fish and chips in Lee
Lee is about 2 miles south of Greenwich, in Greater London. Lee is well within our area, so your wedding just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Lee is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Lee to London (6 miles away).
Marrying at Church of the Good Shepherd? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening. If you want countryside in your photos, Birdbrook Road Nature Reserve isn’t far.
We serve weddings across the SE12, SE13 and SE3 postcode area. Streets in the area include Old Road, Manor Lane and Mallet Road, and the van can serve a wedding on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Neighbouring places where we serve weddings include Hither Green (1 mile west), Horn Park (1 mile south-east), Lewisham (1 mile north-west), Ladywell (1 mile west) and Blackheath (1 mile north).

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Occasions we serve in Lee
It normally costs far less per head than the main meal, which helps the budget go further.

If you’re hoping for photos in Manor House Gardens, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Put bins near the van
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
What affects the price in Lee
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Lee
What’s the nearest station to Lee?
Lee station, in Lee itself.
Could you trade in Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
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’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.

Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For a summer wedding in Lee, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
