Fresh fish and chips in Dollis Hill

Wedding fish and chip van in Dollis Hill, cooked to order

Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. Whether it is relaxed, informal receptions and vow renewal parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.

Couples in Dollis Hill frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at 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. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Working with your venue

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • The minimum booking
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The number of meals

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What we need to know

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Where the event is

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

What happens on the day

Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Golden-hour photos in Dollis Hill at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

About the food

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Put bins near the van
  • Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
  • Have a back-up for guests with special diets
  • Don’t forget your suppliers

It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.

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.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Dollis Hill questions

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Is parking a problem for the van in Dollis Hill?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.

Do you come to Dollis Hill?

Yes, we do. We serve events in Dollis Hill and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.

Is grass a problem?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.

Do you clear up afterwards?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
