Wedding fish and chip van in Little Portugal
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Little Portugal is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Little Portugal
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
About our wedding fish and chip van in Little Portugal
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for barn and farm weddings and vow renewal parties.
For a wedding in Little Portugal, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Little Portugal: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Stephen's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about parking in Little Portugal?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Little Portugal.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will fit your running order.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In Little Portugal, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

- The date and time of year
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
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’s fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
