Fresh fish and chips in Bayswater
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Bayswater
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. Whether it’s day-after gatherings and engagement celebrations, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
London weddings around Bayswater 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. Plan this early with your venue. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Planning wedding fish and chips in Bayswater
Bayswater is about 1 mile north-east of Kensington, in Greater London. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Bayswater. We serve 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Marrying at Essex Street Chapel? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening. For outdoor photos, Campden Hill is close by, and the countryside around Bayswater suits an outdoor reception.
Weddings anywhere in W2, W8 and W11 start with a parking spot for the van. Streets in the area include Dukes Lane, Salem Road and Aubrey Road, and the van can serve a wedding on any of them with a suitable parking spot. You’ll find Bayswater on the A4204 and A4206, so it is easy for us to reach with the van.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Questions from Bayswater
Can the van park in Kensington Palace Green?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Bayswater?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bayswater.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Bayswater at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Cannot 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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- 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
