Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Kensington
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. We’re frequently asked to cater barn and farm weddings and coastal-themed receptions, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
London weddings around Kensington often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, sunset in Kensington is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

For event organisers in Kensington
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Kensington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Something for guests to gather round
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Questions from Kensington
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Barnabas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Kensington?
Kensington has its own station: Kensington Olympia station.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Kensington.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
