About our wedding fish and chip van in West Green
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We’re frequently asked to cater laid-back receptions and pre-wedding get-togethers, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In West Green, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book our van in West Green
- A van that becomes part of the event
- All the chip-shop extras
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, sunset in West Green 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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in West Green
Is West Green close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
