A chip van near Shepperton
About our wedding fish and chip van in Shepperton
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for food after the first dance and laid-back receptions.
In Shepperton, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In Shepperton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

What else we do in Shepperton
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Shepperton
Which station is closest to Shepperton?
Shepperton has its own station: Shepperton station.
Can the van park in Sunbury Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
