Fresh fish and chips in Osterley
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Osterley
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Whether it’s weddings with a seaside feel and vow renewals and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In Osterley, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Common questions in Osterley
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park in Inwood Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you cover Osterley?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Osterley is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Where the van can park in Osterley
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Osterley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- 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
