Wedding fish and chip van across City of London

A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for anniversary celebrations and evening food for day and evening guests.

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Cost

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Planning the van’s 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 lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

Who books wedding fish and chip van?

It generally costs far less per head than the main meal.

Whatever the occasion in City of London, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are frequently booked for:

  • Barn and farm weddings
  • Coastal-themed receptions
  • Food after the first dance
  • Vow renewals and anniversaries

Looking after everyone

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Have bins ready for paper and trays
  • Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
  • Add an allergy question to your RSVP card

Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.

A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • The number of meals
  • Access and parking
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The date and time of year

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The venue or postcode
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.

Questions from City of London

What’s on the menu?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Is there a non-fish option?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

Is grass a problem?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

Do you do evening food for weddings?

Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
