Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in South Acton
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We are frequently asked to cater food after the first dance and vow renewals and anniversaries, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Couples in South Acton frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In South Acton, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.

A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Questions from South Acton
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What about parking in South Acton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in South Acton?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What happens if it rains?
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.
