We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Kings Cross, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Kings Cross
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for second-day and after-party food and vow renewal parties.
In Kings Cross, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Kings Cross is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Kings Cross questions
Can the van park in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Kings Cross?

How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
