About our wedding fish and chip van in Lewisham
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for engagement celebrations and vow renewals and anniversaries.
Couples in Lewisham often hold the reception at a local venue or at 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. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Lewisham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing has been out for hours. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Classic food your guests already know
- We cover Lewisham and the whole of Greater London
- A quote that spells everything out
- Rain does not stop the fryers
Should I sort the food myself?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
