Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Friday Hill
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. For vow renewals and anniversaries and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In Friday Hill, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch once service starts. For a summer wedding in Friday Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Put bins near the van
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Count suppliers working late
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Friday Hill questions
Can the van park in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Friday Hill?
The closest is Chingford station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What affects the price in Friday Hill
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How far we travel
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or E4 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
