The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. At a December wedding in Aldersbrook, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Where the van can park in Aldersbrook
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Aldersbrook is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Do not forget your suppliers
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
