Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Fish Island
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We are often asked to cater laid-back receptions and barn weddings, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
London weddings around Fish Island 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. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Flag coeliac guests early
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

FAQs for Fish Island
Is parking a problem for the van in Fish Island?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary of Eton: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you cover Fish Island?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Fish Island is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
