Wedding fish and chip van in Manor Park, fried fresh
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and pre-wedding get-togethers, with mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For a wedding in Manor Park, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
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.
How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In Manor Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Manor Park
Is parking a problem for the van in Manor Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing has been out for hours. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
