Wedding fish and chip van in Brimsdown, cooked to order
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and engagement celebrations, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
London weddings around Brimsdown frequently 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. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Brimsdown?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A quote that spells everything out
- A van that becomes part of the event
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, sunset in Brimsdown is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
FAQs for Brimsdown
Can you serve after a service at Ss Peter and Paul Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Lee Valley Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Brimsdown.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
