Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Bakers Arms
Is parking a problem for the van in Bakers Arms?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Leyton Jubilee Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Wedding fish and chip van in Bakers Arms, cooked to order
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater informal weddings and second-day and after-party food.
London weddings around Bakers Arms frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family 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. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
