About our wedding fish and chip van in Rush Green
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for evening food for day and evening guests and engagement celebrations.
For a wedding in Rush Green, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Rush Green questions
Can you serve after a service at St Augustine of Canterbury Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about parking in Rush Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Rush Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
