Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Richmond
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We are frequently asked to cater garden and marquee receptions and day-after gatherings, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a wedding in Richmond, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Don’t forget your suppliers
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Richmond questions
What about parking in Richmond?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Terrace and Buccleuch Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.

What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Richmond is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
