What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Wedding fish and chip van in Kensal Town, cooked to order
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include seaside-themed weddings and relaxed, informal receptions, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Couples in Kensal Town often hold the reception at a local venue or at 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. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. Evening food at a Kensal Town wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Kensal Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
