Wedding fish and chip van in Brentford, cooked to order
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Whether it’s barn and farm weddings and engagement celebrations, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas and more.
For a wedding in Brentford, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Brentford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Brentford questions
What’s the nearest station to Brentford?
Brentford has its own station: Brentford station.
Can the van park in Kew Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What time is best for the van?
Generally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will work to your timings.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Brentford, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- No surprises in your quote
- Classic food your guests already know
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- Access and parking
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
