Forest Park questions
How far is Forest Park from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Forest Park
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming late in the evening. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and evening food for day and evening guests.
A farm or garden wedding near Forest Park suits a chip van. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, sunset in Forest Park is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

- Where you’d like the van to go

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
