Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in West Ham

Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Whether it is weddings with a seaside feel and informal weddings, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.

For a wedding in West Ham, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How it works

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding in West Ham. Evening food at a West Ham wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?

A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Common questions in West Ham

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. Send us the address.

What about parking in West Ham?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Can the van park on the street?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What time will you serve?

At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

Can the van park by the marquee?

Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.

About the food

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Should I sort the food myself?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
