A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips

Wedding fish and chip van in Broad Green, cooked to order
Evening food keeps the party going, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. For wedding after-parties and relaxed, informal receptions, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
London weddings around Broad Green frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wedding. At a December wedding in Broad Green, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Make sure the van can get in

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Classic food your guests already know
- No kitchen needed
- A clear quote before you book
- All the chip-shop extras

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Put bins near the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

Questions from Broad Green
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Saviour?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Waddon Ponds?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How many portions do we need?
Usually most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, Broad Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
