Book the van in Sutton Common
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Sutton Common
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For coastal-themed receptions and rustic farm weddings, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For a wedding in Sutton Common, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have 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.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Sutton Common, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen needed
- No surprises in your quote
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Put bins near the van
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Sutton Common is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
