How our wedding fish and chip van works in St George's Fields
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We are often asked to cater evening wedding food and pre-wedding get-togethers, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
London weddings around St George's Fields often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In St George's Fields, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

St George's Fields questions
What about parking in St George's Fields?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at Former Church of St Jude?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including St George's Fields.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
