About our wedding fish and chip van in Tooting Bec
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For vow renewal parties and second-day and after-party food, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
London weddings around Tooting Bec frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At a December wedding in Tooting Bec, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
