Wedding fish and chip van in Popeswood, fried fresh
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s often a yard or track close to the party. Whether it’s laid-back receptions and food after the first dance, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
For a smaller place like Popeswood, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a firm spot and access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy

FAQs for Popeswood
How far is Popeswood from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
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’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
