Wedding fish and chip van in Green Cross
About our wedding fish and chip van in Green Cross
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For garden and marquee receptions and informal weddings, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Green Cross, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

A chip van compared with other options
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Flag coeliac guests early
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

Evening food at a Green Cross wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Green Cross: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Green Cross close to London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
