Wedding fish and chip van in Farthing Street, cooked to order
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for informal weddings and barn and farm weddings.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Farthing Street is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Farthing Street? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. Winter weddings in Farthing Street are 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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
