Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Upper Norwood 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 will advise.

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Upper Norwood
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for evening food for day and evening guests and seaside-themed weddings.
London weddings around Upper Norwood 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. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Upper Norwood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
