Wedding fish and chip van in Westcombe Park, fried fresh
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. Whether it’s garden and marquee receptions and engagement parties, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
Couples in Westcombe Park 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. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

What affects the price in Westcombe Park
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Westcombe Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Westcombe Park
Which station is closest to Westcombe Park?
Westcombe Park station, in Westcombe Park itself.
What about parking in Westcombe Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book our van in Westcombe Park
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
