Wedding fish and chip van for Lower Kingswood events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Lower Kingswood
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For vow renewal parties and informal weddings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Lower Kingswood, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
For event organisers in Lower Kingswood
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Lower Kingswood: your questions answered
Is Lower Kingswood close to London?
About 16 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put bins near the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Don’t forget your suppliers
Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week

- The menu and how many choices
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
