Wedding fish and chip van in Mortlake, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We are frequently asked to cater vow renewals and anniversaries and coastal-themed receptions, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a wedding in Mortlake, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Mortlake questions
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about parking in Mortlake?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Mortlake.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you cover Mortlake?
We do. We serve events in Mortlake and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Winter weddings in Mortlake are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Mortlake is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
