Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan bins by the hatch
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Wedding fish and chip van in Waddon, fried fresh
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it is most welcome. Whether it is food after the first dance and laid-back receptions, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce and more.
In Waddon, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

What else we do in Waddon
Working with your venue
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 will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Waddon is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
FAQs for Waddon
Is parking a problem for the van in Waddon?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Duppas Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Do you come to Waddon?
We do. We serve events in Waddon and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Evening food at a Waddon wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
