Choosing a fish and chip van

About our wedding fish and chip van in City of Westminster

Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. For second-day and after-party food and barn weddings, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.

For a wedding in City of Westminster, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Working with your venue

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in City of Westminster? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

What the van needs

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

As a London location, City of Westminster is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in City of Westminster

Could you trade in Hyde Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Is parking a problem for the van in City of Westminster?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.

Do you bring everything you need?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

What time will you serve?

Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

When do you arrive?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Does every evening guest need to eat?

Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.

Can you do our evening wedding food?

Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We will fit around your first dance and band.

About the food

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

What affects the price in City of Westminster

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Parking and the way in
  • The length of service
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The menu and how many choices

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

  • Where the event is
  • The date and time of the event
  • Where you’d like the van to go

Why choose a fish and chip van in City of Westminster?

A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Why City of Westminster hosts choose us

  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • No surprises in your quote
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • A van that becomes part of the event

See our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.

How it works

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In City of Westminster, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Let us know the serving time
  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Give us a contact for the day
