Wedding fish and chip van in Wapping, fried fresh
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for food after the first dance and garden and marquee receptions.
In Wapping, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
Questions from Wapping
Can the van park in William Curtis Ecological Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at St Peter's?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will fit around your first dance and band.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Put bins near the van
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Events in Wapping and across Greater London
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Wapping is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
