Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Crouch End
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Typical bookings include garden and marquee receptions and anniversary celebrations, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas.
London weddings around Crouch End frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Crouch End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

Questions from Crouch End
Can the van park in Priory Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Crouch End?
Crouch Hill station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
