Fresh fish and chips in White City

How our wedding fish and chip van works in White City

We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Typical bookings include seaside-themed weddings and marquee and garden weddings, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.

London weddings around White City often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

What happens on the day

Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In White City, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

Historic houses near White City include Leighton House (1.3 miles south-east) and Sambourne House (1.5 miles south-east).

After a ceremony at a church like St Michael and St George, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.

We serve weddings across the W12, W11 and W10 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean a wedding at a home on Bard Road, Wood Lane and Abdale Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

What the van needs

Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch

As a London location, White City is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Looking after everyone

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
  • Flag coeliac guests early
  • Ask your venue about catering vans first
  • Include the band, photographer and venue staff

Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.

Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

Common questions in White City

Which station is closest to White City?

The closest is Shepherds Bush station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

What about parking in White City?

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

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

What’s on the menu?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Can the van park by the marquee?

Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Can you park on the road outside?

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

Why choose a fish and chip van in White City?

Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
