Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, North Woolwich is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in North Woolwich
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Whether it’s laid-back receptions and garden and marquee receptions, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
London weddings around North Woolwich frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Evening food at a North Woolwich wedding often goes out just as the light fades: 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

- A quote that spells everything out
- Events in North Woolwich and across Greater London
- No kitchen needed
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

North Woolwich questions
We are gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park in Beckton District Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in North Woolwich?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Put bins near the van
- Count suppliers working late
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
