How our wedding fish and chip van works in Thamesmead
It’s relaxed and a little bit fun: guests in their wedding best queuing for fish and chips makes for memorable photos. Whether it is vow renewal parties and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Couples in Thamesmead often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need off-road parking near the reception. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Can’t 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 don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan bins by the hatch
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

At midsummer, sunset in Thamesmead is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
