Wedding fish and chip van in Welling, cooked to order
Couples love the relaxed feel: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for great photos. We are often asked to cater vow renewal parties and barn weddings, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In Welling, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Common questions in Welling
Is parking a problem for the van in Welling?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you come?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van come to Welling?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Welling and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
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.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Welling, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Welling is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce

What to tell us
