How our wedding fish and chip van works in Paddington Green
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For rustic farm weddings and laid-back receptions, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
London weddings around Paddington Green often 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. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Put bins near the van
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Paddington Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips

Can you serve after a service at St Mary on Paddington Green Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Normally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
