Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Sunbury-on-Thames
Can you serve after a service at St Saviour?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Do you cover Sunbury-on-Thames?
We do. Sunbury-on-Thames is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
How far ahead should we book?

What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Count suppliers working late
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Put bins near the van
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
