Fresh fish and chips in Ruxley
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter weddings in Ruxley are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Wedding fish and chip van in Ruxley, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings with a seaside feel and barn weddings.
Couples in Ruxley 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 serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

What the van needs

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Ruxley 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Ruxley: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Ruxley?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come to Ruxley?
Yes, we do. Ruxley is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Usually most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Count suppliers working late
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
