Wedding fish and chip van in Putney Vale, cooked to order
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We are frequently asked to cater evening wedding food and second-day and after-party food, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Couples in Putney Vale often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Where the van can park in Putney Vale
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, Putney Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Putney Vale

A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Putney Vale, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Questions from Putney Vale
We are gathering after a service at St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about parking in Putney Vale?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
How fast is service?

Do you need power or water?

What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
