How our wedding fish and chip van works in Plumstead
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for rustic farm weddings and weddings with a seaside feel.
In Plumstead, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Plumstead
Can you serve after a service at St John's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Plumstead?
Plumstead station, in Plumstead itself.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Plumstead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your wedding. At a December wedding in Plumstead, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
