Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in West Ealing
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We are often asked to cater weddings with a seaside feel and barn weddings, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
For a wedding in West Ealing, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in West Ealing, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.

Questions from West Ealing
Is parking a problem for the van in West Ealing?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Cathedral: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Normally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When should evening food go out?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
