Fresh fish and chips in Goodmayes
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Goodmayes
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for marquee and garden weddings and second-day and after-party food.
For a wedding in Goodmayes, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Goodmayes is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
