Fresh fish and chips in Westminster

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Westminster

Evening food keeps the party going, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. We are frequently asked to cater food after the first dance and second-day and after-party food, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.

In Westminster, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Westminster?

For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Why book our van in Westminster

  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Rain does not stop the fryers

Choosing a fish and chip van

Planning the van’s spot

If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

Westminster is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Popular choices

  • Sausage and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Evening fish and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Mushy peas

How it works

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Westminster, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • Talk to us about evening numbers
  • Flag coeliac guests early
  • Make sure we have someone to call on the day
  • Don’t forget your suppliers

It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.

Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

Planners, venues and businesses

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
