Wedding fish and chip van in Broomfield, fried fresh
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and anniversary celebrations, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Near Broomfield, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Broomfield: your questions answered
Is Broomfield close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Food your guests will love

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Planning the van’s spot

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
