How our wedding fish and chip van works in Broadfield
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for engagement celebrations and day-after gatherings.
A farm or garden wedding near Broadfield suits a chip van. We need level, firm ground and a way in. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Winter weddings in Broadfield are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Name one person we can call on the day

FAQs for Broadfield
Can you serve after a service at Christ The Lord?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Broadfield close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What time will you serve?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll fit your running order.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips

Gravy

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
