Wedding fish and chip van in Plaistow
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Plaistow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Plaistow
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Whether it’s informal weddings and anniversary celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.
London weddings around Plaistow 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. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Count suppliers working late
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Plaistow questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Plaistow?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary’s Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
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.
