Wedding fish and chip van in Seven Dials
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Seven Dials
Can the van park in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Seven Dials?
Seven Dials has its own station: Tottenham Court Road station.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.

Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include vow renewals and anniversaries and marquee and garden weddings, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In Seven Dials, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Seven Dials is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve

Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Events in Seven Dials and across Greater London

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
