About our wedding fish and chip van in East End of London
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater laid-back receptions and evening wedding food.
For a wedding in East End of London, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Evening food at a East End of London wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in East End of London
Could you trade in Stepney Green Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can the van come to East End of London?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including East End of London and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
