What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Plaistow
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Whether it’s weddings in a marquee or garden and second-day and after-party food, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
London weddings around Plaistow 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. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Plan bins by the hatch
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Plaistow weddings: local tips
Plaistow is about 5 miles east of London, in Greater London. We cover Plaistow as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London.
It is worth telling train travellers that West Ham station, about 0.9 miles west, is the nearest station. If you’re marrying at a church near Plaistow, such as Memorial Community Church, and holding the reception nearby, the van can serve evening food there.
Here we cover the E13, E16 and E6 postcode area, so your wedding can be anywhere in it. We can serve a wedding on streets such as Eve Road, Ivy Road and May Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Being close to the A1011, Plaistow is easy for us to reach. We also bring the van to weddings in Greengate (1 mile north-east), Canning Town (1 mile south), Upton Park (1 mile north-east), West Ham (1 mile north-west) and Upton (1 mile north).

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
