Wedding fish and chip van in Dagenham Green, cooked to order
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. For informal weddings and barn weddings, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
For a wedding in Dagenham Green, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Dagenham Green
Is parking a problem for the van in Dagenham Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
We are gathering after a service at St Martin's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van come to Dagenham Green?
We do. We serve events in Dagenham Green and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At a December wedding in Dagenham Green, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- 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.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Ensure the van can get in

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Count suppliers working late
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
