We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. We’re frequently asked to cater food after the first dance and anniversary celebrations, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
London weddings around Fortis Green often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue.

What happens on the day
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. In Fortis Green, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Fortis Green
What’s the nearest station to Fortis Green?
Alexandra Palace station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Fortis Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can you park near the barn?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you cover Fortis Green?
We do. We serve events in Fortis Green and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What you get with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- No kitchen needed
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
