Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Broadwater Farm
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Typical bookings include laid-back receptions and weddings in a marquee or garden, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In Broadwater Farm, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. 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, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Broadwater Farm is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening food at a Broadwater Farm wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Broadwater Farm
Can you serve after a service at St Philip the Apostle?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park in Bruce Castle Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
- 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
