How our wedding fish and chip van works in Sutton
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it’s day-after gatherings and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
A wedding in a small place like Sutton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
FAQs for Sutton
Is Sutton close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you park near the barn?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Sutton, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us a contact for the day
