Wedding fish and chip van in Telegraph Hill
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Telegraph Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips

Telegraph Hill: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Telegraph Hill?
Telegraph Hill has its own station: Brockley station.
We’re gathering after a service at St Catherine's Hatcham: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Can the van come to Telegraph Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Telegraph Hill and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Events in Telegraph Hill and across Greater London
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
