How our wedding fish and chip van works in Brookside
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We’re frequently asked to cater barn and farm weddings and evening wedding food, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Brookside often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Brookside: your questions answered
Is Brookside close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Brookside?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Windsor and Maidenhead. Find your area.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Put bins near the van
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Organising for someone else?

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening food at a Brookside wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
