Wedding fish and chip van for Silvertown events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Silvertown
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We’re frequently asked to cater day-after gatherings and engagement celebrations, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Couples in Silvertown often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Silvertown: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St Barnabas' Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Silvertown?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you come to Silvertown?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Silvertown is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Marrying at St Barnabas' Church? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening.

The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. At a December wedding in Silvertown, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a cold 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?
- A clear quote before booking
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cover Silvertown and the whole of Greater London
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, Silvertown 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 you book.
