Wedding fish and chip van for Bishopsgate events
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Bishopsgate
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Whether it’s laid-back receptions and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
In Bishopsgate, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Bishopsgate questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Ethelburga: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Bishopsgate?
Bishopsgate has its own station: London Liverpool Street station.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van come to Bishopsgate?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Bishopsgate is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Space, access and the venue
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:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Bishopsgate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, sunset in Bishopsgate is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
