Wedding fish and chip van in Hale End, fried fresh
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. On the menu are curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement celebrations and barn weddings.
Couples in Hale End often hold the reception at a local venue or at 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. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Golden-hour photos in Hale End at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
