About our wedding fish and chip van in Petersham

For a wedding in Petersham, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Petersham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count suppliers working late
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Petersham questions
What about parking in Petersham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Petersham?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Perfect for your wedding in Petersham
Couples choose a fish and chip van because it’s relaxed and fun. The hatch becomes a meeting point.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Wedding after-parties
- Barn and farm weddings
- Engagement celebrations
- Marquee and garden weddings
After a ceremony at a church like St Peter's Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.
