Wedding fish and chip van in Broadwater, cooked to order
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee or garden and evening wedding food.
For a smaller place like Broadwater, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

For event organisers in Broadwater
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
- How long we serve
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

Questions from Broadwater
Could you trade in Beach House Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. At a December wedding in Broadwater, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
