For a wedding in Surrey Canal, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about 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.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Organising a club, school or community event in Surrey Canal? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Where the van can park in Surrey Canal

- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Surrey Canal is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Put bins near the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat.
