Wedding fish and chip van in Sutton, cooked to order
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Typical bookings include rustic farm weddings and food after the first dance, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For a wedding in Sutton, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.

What affects the price in Sutton
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the parking spot
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Sutton
Can the van park in Manor Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Sutton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll fit your running order.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

About the food
Gravy

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
