How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Golden-hour photos in Pollards Hill at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Pollards Hill
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 hot fish and chips hits the spot. Whether it’s rustic farm weddings and seaside-themed weddings, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
London weddings around Pollards Hill often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Pollards Hill
Is parking a problem for the van in Pollards Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Pollards Hill?
The closest is Norbury station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Pollards Hill?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How many portions do we need?
Generally most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Pollards Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. 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.
