Wedding fish and chip van in Selhurst, cooked to order
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include weddings with a seaside feel and rustic farm weddings, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Couples in Selhurst frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Don’t forget your suppliers
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Selhurst is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Selhurst
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: can you come?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in South Norwood Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
When should we book?
