DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Notting Hill, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Count suppliers working late
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Notting Hill 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.
