Wedding fish and chip van for Greengate events
For event organisers in Greengate
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Greengate
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. Whether it’s barn weddings and coastal-themed receptions, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In Greengate, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Questions from Greengate
We are gathering after a service at St Andrew's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Winter weddings in Greengate are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
