Wedding fish and chip van in Temple, fried fresh
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. For barn and farm weddings and weddings with a seaside feel, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Couples in Temple often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Put bins near the van
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- 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.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Temple
We are gathering after a service at Temple Church: can you come?
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’ll gather.
Could you trade in Garden Bridge?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Temple?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Events in Temple and across Greater London
- No kitchen needed
- Everything cooked to order at your event

What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a summer wedding in Temple, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
