Planning an event in Upton Park?
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Upton Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Wedding fish and chip van in Upton Park, cooked to order
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For barn and farm weddings and anniversary celebrations, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
London weddings around Upton Park often 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. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your guests
Upton Park 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
