Fresh fish and chips in Finsbury Park
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Finsbury Park
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Typical bookings include vow renewals and anniversaries and wedding after-parties, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In Finsbury Park, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Evening food at a Finsbury Park wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
