About our wedding fish and chip van in Canary Wharf
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and rustic farm weddings, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Couples in Canary Wharf 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. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Canary Wharf is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Canary Wharf, 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. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

- If the price includes VAT
- The deposit and payment dates
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- How much space the van takes up
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Canary Wharf?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
