Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in East Ham
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is usually somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Whether it is pre-wedding get-togethers and laid-back receptions, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce and more.
London weddings around East Ham frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Questions from East Ham
What’s the nearest station to East Ham?
The closest is Barking station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at St Bartholomew's 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van come to East Ham?
We do. We serve events in East Ham and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
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. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In East Ham, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- 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
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

What else we do in East Ham
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why East Ham hosts choose us
- All the chip-shop extras
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A quote that spells everything out
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For event organisers in East Ham
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
