Wedding fish and chip van in Brunswick Park, fried fresh
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We’re often asked to cater engagement parties and food after the first dance, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
London weddings around Brunswick Park frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A chip van compared with other options
For evening food with a bit of fun, a fish and chip van is a great choice. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

The process

In Brunswick Park, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Plan bins by the hatch
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Common questions in Brunswick Park
What’s the nearest station to Brunswick Park?
The closest is New Southgate station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can the van park in Friary Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What time is best for the van?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
