About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
About our wedding fish and chip van in South Wimbledon
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for engagement celebrations and marquee and garden weddings.
Couples in South Wimbledon often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need off-road parking near the reception. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your wedding in South Wimbledon. For a summer wedding in South Wimbledon, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have a lot of guests.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
