Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Wedding fish and chip van in Putney, cooked to order
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. We are often asked to cater food after the first dance and second-day and after-party food, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In Putney, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Putney questions
Can you serve after a service at Polish Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Putney?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Putney?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
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, not all.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, sunset in Putney is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Putney?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- All the chip-shop extras
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Who books wedding fish and chip van in Putney?
It generally costs far less per head than the main meal, which helps the budget go further.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are often booked for:
- Rustic farm weddings
- Anniversary celebrations
- Second-day and after-party food
- Marquee and garden weddings
Historic houses near Putney include Fulham Palace (0.6 miles north-east) and Kelmscott House (2 miles north). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and vehicles.
What to look for in a quote
- Allergen information for each item
- How late numbers can change
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- The service time, and the cost of running over
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Putney 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
