Common questions in Sutton Wick
How far is Sutton Wick from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Albert Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
