About our wedding fish and chip van in Aldgate
It’s relaxed and a little bit fun: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for great photos. Whether it’s rustic farm weddings and engagement parties, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Couples in Aldgate frequently 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. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

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.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Here we cover the E1, EC2A and SE1 postcode area, so your wedding can be anywhere in it.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wedding. In Aldgate, 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.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:

- A spot near your guests
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Aldgate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Aldgate questions
Can you serve after a service at St James Duke's Place?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come to Aldgate?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Aldgate. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- 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
