Fresh fish and chips in New Addington
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in New Addington
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 serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for seaside-themed weddings and laid-back receptions.
In New Addington, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in New Addington, 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’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.

New Addington questions
Can the van park in Addington Vale?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to New Addington?
Hayes (Kent) station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
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.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
Where the van can park in New Addington
We will be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, New Addington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
