About our wedding fish and chip van in Burwood Park
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for day-after gatherings and engagement parties.
A wedding in a small place like Burwood Park often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Questions from Burwood Park
Do you come out to small places like Burwood Park?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in West End Common?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
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.

How it works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Evening food at a Burwood Park wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Put bins near the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
