How our wedding fish and chip van works in Dagenham
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Typical bookings include vow renewal parties and relaxed, informal receptions, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Couples in Dagenham often 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. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Flag coeliac guests early
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
