London weddings around Pimlico often 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.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Questions from Pimlico
Is parking a problem for the van in Pimlico?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Pimlico Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count suppliers working late
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At a December wedding in Pimlico, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re 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.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready
