Wedding fish and chip van in Mitcham, cooked to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for anniversary celebrations and marquee and garden weddings.
Couples in Mitcham 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. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 generally simpler.
FAQs for Mitcham
Can you serve after a service at St. Mark's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Mitcham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you come to Mitcham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Mitcham is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you park near the barn?
Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will agree the spot in advance.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

Step by step
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For a summer wedding in Mitcham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Mitcham 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.
