How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Evening food at a Little London wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Common questions in Little London
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Stephen's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Little London close to London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
