How our wedding fish and chip van works in Dalston
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. For seaside-themed weddings and marquee and garden weddings, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Couples in Dalston 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a summer wedding in Dalston, 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.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

FAQs for Dalston
What about parking in Dalston?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Do you come to Dalston?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Dalston and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
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’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
