Wedding fish and chip van for Farringdon events

About our wedding fish and chip van in Farringdon

Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for informal weddings and coastal-themed receptions.

In Farringdon, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Organising for someone else?

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Takeaway run or book a van?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

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’s crisp.

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

Numbers
Distance and any road charges
How easy the site is to reach
The menu and how many choices

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

The date and time of the event
The spot you have in mind for the van
A picture of the parking spot
Expected numbers

Food your guests will love

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

The process

The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. At a December wedding in Farringdon, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

Confirm the van is allowed on site
Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Name one person we can call on the day

Getting a price

How much does a fish and chip van cost to hire?

Farringdon: your questions answered

Can the van park in Barbican Conservatory?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.

We are gathering after a service at St John Clerkenwell: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

Do you need power or water?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

Can the van park on grass?

Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Will guests take photos at the van?

Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.

Can you serve children?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.

What’s on the menu?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Planning for dietary needs

Talk to us about evening numbers

After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.

A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
