A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Regents Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Common questions in Regents Park
Can you serve near the sea around Regents Park?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Could you trade in St James' Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How many portions do we need?
Normally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
