Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in East Village
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. We are often asked to cater engagement parties and relaxed, informal receptions, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In East Village, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, sunset in East Village is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
