Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in South Bank
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. For weddings in a marquee or garden and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
London weddings around South Bank frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, sunset in South Bank is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

- A picture of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in South Bank
Could you trade in Jubilee Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: 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 on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, South Bank is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
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. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Planning wedding fish and chips in South Bank
South Bank is about 1 mile west of London, in Greater London. In and around South Bank, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. We take the van to 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
After a ceremony at a church like St John's Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. Jubilee Gardens can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first.

A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Put bins near the van
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
