Wedding fish and chip van for Haverstock events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Haverstock
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. We’re often asked to cater rustic farm weddings and day-after gatherings, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
For a wedding in Haverstock, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
For event organisers in Haverstock
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.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Occasions we serve in Haverstock
The van keeps cooking in any weather, which takes one worry off the list.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Barn weddings
- Engagement parties
- Vow renewal parties
- Relaxed, informal receptions
Couples marrying at local churches such as Church of St Mary the Virgin often hold the reception nearby, with the van parked by the marquee or hall.

Common questions in Haverstock
Can the van park in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
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 will gather.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
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. Send us any allergies in writing.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Haverstock is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
