Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Kemsley Street
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For relaxed, informal receptions and second-day and after-party food, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Kemsley Street frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. Evening food at a Kemsley Street wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Kemsley 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.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Common questions in Kemsley Street
Could you trade in Levan Strice?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Kemsley Street close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Generally most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
