Wedding fish and chip van for Harrow on the Hill events

The process

The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At a December wedding in Harrow on the Hill, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

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.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

A chip van compared with other options

For evening food with a bit of fun, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Why book with us

  • A clear quote before booking
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
