Wedding fish and chip van in Arnos Grove, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for garden and marquee receptions and vow renewals and anniversaries.
For a wedding in Arnos Grove, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Arnos Grove 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.
What we serve
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
