About our wedding fish and chip van in Hadley
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Typical bookings include barn weddings and relaxed, informal receptions, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
In Hadley, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Hadley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For a summer wedding in Hadley, 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 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about

Hadley questions
Which station is closest to Hadley?
The closest is New Barnet station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Could you trade in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you cover Hadley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hadley and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
