Where the van can park in Southborough

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Southborough is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Southborough
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Popular choices include curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for pre-wedding get-togethers and rustic farm weddings.
In Southborough, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What else we do in Southborough
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why Southborough hosts choose us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A clear quote before you book
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cover Southborough and the whole of Greater London

Weddings in Southborough: venues, ceremonies and travel
Southborough is about 2 miles south-east of Bromley, in Greater London. Give us the address of your wedding in Southborough, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Southborough are Bromley Palace (1.4 miles north-west) and Eltham Palace (3.9 miles north). Grand venues like these normally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking. Put the station on your invitation: Bickley station, about 0.7 miles north, is the nearest station. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Southborough, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Check vehicle access with the venue.
Anywhere in BR2 and BR1, we can fry fresh for your guests. Local streets include Pope Road, Crown Lane and Union Road; a wedding on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For weddings just outside Southborough, we cover Bromley Common (1 mile south-west), Petts Wood (1 mile east), Locksbottom (2 miles south-east), Shortlands (2 miles west) and Crofton (2 miles south-east).

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Flag coeliac guests early
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.

Step by step
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Winter weddings in Southborough are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
