Fresh fish and chips in South Street
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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 is fried on the spot.
About our wedding fish and chip van in South Street
It’s relaxed and a little bit fun: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for memorable photos. Typical bookings include food after the first dance and coastal-themed receptions, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
London weddings around South Street often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat

For planners, venues and organisers

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.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For a summer wedding in South Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
