Wedding fish and chip van in West Wickham, cooked to order
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. Whether it is evening food for day and evening guests and rustic farm weddings, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
London weddings around West Wickham 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. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. In West Wickham, 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’s dark by about 3:55pm.

West Wickham questions
Can you serve after a service at St Francis of Assisi?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Millers Pond?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you cover West Wickham?
We do. West Wickham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
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 a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in West Wickham, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan bins by the hatch
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
