About our wedding fish and chip van in Ham
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. Whether it’s anniversary celebrations and marquee and garden weddings, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
London weddings around Ham often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Ham
Is parking a problem for the van in Ham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Ham?
Teddington station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.

How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Ham?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. Winter weddings in Ham 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, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
