Wedding fish and chip van in Kingsland, fried fresh
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For marquee and garden weddings and food after the first dance, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
For a wedding in Kingsland, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Kingsland, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
