How our wedding fish and chip van works in Hammersmith
Couples love the relaxed feel: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for great photos. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and pre-wedding get-togethers, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In Hammersmith, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Hammersmith 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Hammersmith: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Hammersmith?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Innocents?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Step by step
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. In Hammersmith, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
