A chip van near Hanworth
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Hanworth
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We’re frequently asked to cater garden and marquee receptions and coastal-themed receptions, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In Hanworth, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Hanworth
Can you serve after a service at St Richard's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about parking in Hanworth?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal that guests remember. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Hanworth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
