About our wedding fish and chip van in Lewson Street
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and anniversary celebrations.
Near Lewson Street, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Common questions in Lewson Street
Is Lewson Street close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Lewson Street?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
