How our wedding fish and chip van works in Enfield Island Village

Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Popular choices include mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and day-after gatherings.

London weddings around Enfield Island Village 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. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Step by step

The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In Enfield Island Village, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

What the van needs

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Enfield Island Village 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Popular choices

  • Evening fish and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Curry sauce

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Enfield Island Village

What’s the nearest station to Enfield Island Village?

Enfield Lock station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.

Is parking a problem for the van in Enfield Island Village?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

Do you take everything away?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What do we need to supply?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Can the van park by the marquee?

Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Have a back-up for guests with special diets
  • Have bins ready for paper and trays
  • Add an allergy question to your RSVP card

Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.

Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
