Planning the van’s spot

  • A spot near your guests
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Common questions in Newington Green

Can you serve after a service at Newington Green Unitarian Church?

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. Tell us where you’ll gather.

What about parking in Newington Green?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.

Will the van be in our photos?

Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.

Can the van come for the evening?

Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.

Which areas do you serve?

We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.

Can you park near the barn?

That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.

What does the van need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Step by step

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Newington Green, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planning for dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Confirm the van can park at the venue
  • Do not forget your suppliers
  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Have a back-up for guests with special diets

After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.

Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
