What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a summer wedding in City of London, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Common questions in City of London
Which station is closest to City of London?
London Cannon Street station, in City of London itself.
Can you serve after a service at St Olave Old Jewry?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How many portions do we need?
Normally most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
City of London is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
