The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding in Bandonhill. In Bandonhill, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day

Wedding fish and chip van in Bandonhill, cooked to order
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. For marquee and garden weddings and barn and farm weddings, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Couples in Bandonhill 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 keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Count suppliers working late
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Where the van can park in Bandonhill
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Bandonhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
