Wedding fish and chip van in Newington Butts, cooked to order
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening wedding food and seaside-themed weddings.
For a wedding in Newington Butts, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a summer wedding in Newington Butts, 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.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
FAQs for Newington Butts
What’s the nearest station to Newington Butts?
Newington Butts has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.
Can you serve after a service at Metropolitan Tabernacle?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should evening food go out?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
