Wedding fish and chip van in Brooks Green, fried fresh

Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for weddings in a marquee or garden and laid-back receptions.

A wedding in a small place like Brooks Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Takeaway run or book a van?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

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.

How it works

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening food at a Brooks Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Getting ready for the day

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

FAQs for Brooks Green

How far is Brooks Green from London?

Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.

Do you come out to small places like Brooks Green?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

When do you arrive?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

What if the weather’s bad?

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.

What do you bring?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

A chip van compared with other options

Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What you get with us

  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • Served hot, straight from the hatch

See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.

Looking after everyone

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
  • Have bins ready for paper and trays
  • Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple

Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.

Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

  • 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
