How our wedding fish and chip van works in Bethnal Green
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 fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. Popular choices include curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for vow renewals and anniversaries and coastal-themed receptions.
London weddings around Bethnal Green frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Common questions in Bethnal Green
Could you trade in Bethnal Green Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Peter's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
