Wedding fish and chip van for East End events
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Hot food handed straight over

- Count suppliers working late
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.

The closest is Combe station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How far is East End from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How many portions do we need?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
