Planning for dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

  • Put bins near the van
  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs

Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.

Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

About our wedding fish and chip van in North Sheen

A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. Typical bookings include vow renewals and anniversaries and barn weddings, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.

In North Sheen, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?

Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

A closer look at the menu

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Sausage and chips

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

Planning the van’s spot

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

North Sheen 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 will advise.

FAQs for North Sheen

Can the van park in Dukes Meadows?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What’s the nearest station to North Sheen?

North Sheen has its own station: Kew Gardens station.

How long does set-up take?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

What can guests choose from?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Will guests take photos at the van?

Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.

Can the van come for the evening?

Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.

The process

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In North Sheen, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
