Wedding fish and chip van for Waterloo events
Waterloo: your questions answered
What about parking in Waterloo?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Waterloo?
Waterloo has its own station: London Waterloo station.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Waterloo
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. For day-after gatherings and laid-back receptions, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Couples in Waterloo often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

Planning wedding fish and chips in Waterloo
Waterloo is about 1 mile west of London, in Greater London. From the centre of Waterloo to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Waterloo is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Within reach of Waterloo are historic houses such as Benjamin Franklin House (0.7 miles north-west) and Dr Johnson's House (1 mile north). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and vehicles. For outdoor photos, St. James's Park Lake is close by, and the countryside around Waterloo suits an outdoor reception.
Here we cover the SE1, SE11 and WC2N postcode area, and we can serve your wedding anywhere in it. From York Road, Spur Road and Bear Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Waterloo is on the A301 and A302, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. For weddings just outside Waterloo, we cover South Bank (1 mile north-west), Bankside (1 mile north-east), Adelphi (1 mile north-west), Temple (1 mile north) and Charing Cross (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west) and Orpington (12 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Liberty of the Savoy (0.7 miles north-west) and Florence Nightingale Museum (under half a mile west). Green spaces nearby include Ludgate Hill and Bellenden Road Nature Garden.
- Nearby schools include Oasis Academy South Bank (within half a mile south) and Oasis Academy South Bank (less than half a mile south)
- Local pubs include The Duke of Sussex pub (less than half a mile east)
- Local facilities include Lambeth Palace Library (under half a mile south-west)
For event organisers in Waterloo
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
What affects the price in Waterloo
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the parking spot
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Waterloo?
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Hot food handed straight over
- Something for guests to gather round
- Events in Waterloo and across Greater London
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, sunset in Waterloo is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Waterloo is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
