About our wedding fish and chip van in Streatham
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Typical bookings include laid-back receptions and day-after gatherings, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
London weddings around Streatham 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. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For a summer wedding in Streatham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
How to prepare

Food your guests will love

Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Streatham questions
Can the van park in Streatham Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St Leonard's Church: can you come?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can the van come to Streatham?
We do. Streatham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Streatham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- 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
