Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Kentish Town
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for vow renewal parties and weddings with a seaside feel.
Couples in Kentish 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. Plan this early with your venue. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Kentish Town questions
Which station is closest to Kentish Town?
Kentish Town West station, in Kentish Town itself.
Could you trade in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van come to Kentish Town?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Kentish Town and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What affects the price in Kentish Town
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- Service time
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Put bins near the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, sunset in Kentish Town is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or NW5 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
