Looking after everyone

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Flag coeliac guests early
Add an allergy question to your RSVP card

Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Southfields questions

What’s the nearest station to Southfields?

Southfields has its own station: Earlsfield station.

Is parking a problem for the van in Southfields?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

What happens if it rains?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

What’s on the menu?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Who clears up?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

Can you serve children?

Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Planning the van’s spot

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

Room in front of the hatch for a queue
A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

Southfields is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

15 questions to ask before you book

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Food your guests will love

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Step by step

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Winter weddings in Southfields are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
