Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Planning for 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
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Soho? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

Soho: your questions answered
Could you trade in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Anne's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cover Soho?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Soho and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Soho is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
