Wedding fish and chip van in Brewer Street, fried fresh
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We’re often asked to cater garden and marquee receptions and engagement celebrations, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Near Brewer Street, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Brewer Street questions
Can the van park in Kitchen Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Is Brewer Street close to London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.

What else we do in Brewer Street
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Flag coeliac guests early
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van

How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter weddings in Brewer Street are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
