What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Lissenden Gardens
Is parking a problem for the van in Lissenden Gardens?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Parliament Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you come to Lissenden Gardens?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Lissenden Gardens is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Don’t forget your suppliers
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Where the van can park in Lissenden Gardens
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Lissenden Gardens is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For a summer wedding in Lissenden Gardens, 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. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
