Planning an event in Lisson Grove?
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Lisson Grove 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Lisson Grove
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Typical bookings include vow renewal parties and relaxed, informal receptions, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a wedding in Lisson Grove, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
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 frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Questions from Lisson Grove
We are gathering after a service at St Paul's Community Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Lisson Grove?
Lisson Grove has its own station: London Marylebone station.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Will the van be in our photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you cover Lisson Grove?
We do. Lisson Grove is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
