Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Common questions in Russell Hill
Could you trade in Duppas Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Russell Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Of course. It is our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you come to Russell Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Russell Hill is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Where the van can park in Russell Hill
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A spot near your guests
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Russell Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for guests to gather round
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Why choose wedding fish and chip van in Russell Hill?

- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
