Book the van in Tooting
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Tooting
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. For informal weddings and pre-wedding get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In Tooting, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Winter weddings in Tooting are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Tooting is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Tooting: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at St Augustine?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Tooting?
Tooting station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Do you cover Tooting?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Tooting and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
