About our wedding fish and chip van in North Kensington
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for weddings in a marquee or garden and vow renewals and anniversaries.
London weddings around North Kensington frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
