Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Hadley Wood
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. For marquee and garden weddings and barn weddings, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
London weddings around Hadley Wood often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Hadley Wood
Could you trade in Tudor Sports Ground?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at St Paul'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’ll gather.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you park near the barn?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
