Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Elm Park
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Whether it’s day-after gatherings and food after the first dance, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
For a wedding in Elm Park, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
Elm Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
