Wedding fish and chip van in Souldern
About our wedding fish and chip van in Souldern
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Whether it’s marquee and garden weddings and laid-back receptions, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Near Souldern, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. In Souldern, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Share the timings for the day

Souldern questions
Is Souldern too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van come to Souldern?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Souldern. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
