Fresh fish and chips in Shoreditch
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At a December wedding in Shoreditch, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Shoreditch
Evening food keeps the party going, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. For weddings with a seaside feel and laid-back receptions, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
London weddings around Shoreditch frequently 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. Plan this early with your venue. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

What affects the price in Shoreditch
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Something for guests to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Common questions in Shoreditch
What about parking in Shoreditch?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
We’re gathering after a service at St Leonard's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Will the van be in our photos?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
Shoreditch is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
