How our wedding fish and chip van works in Homerton
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 are frequently asked to cater weddings with a seaside feel and barn weddings, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a wedding in Homerton, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Homerton
Can you serve after a service at United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Millfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you park near the barn?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For a summer wedding in Homerton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
