Wedding fish and chip van in Hayes, cooked to order
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and anniversaries and informal weddings.
For a wedding in Hayes, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What affects the price in Hayes
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning wedding fish and chips in Hayes
Hayes is about 2 miles south of Bromley, in Greater London. We cover Hayes as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We cover 764 places across Greater London. Our bookings stretch from Hayes to London (about 10 miles away).
Wedding photographers in the area often head for Hutchinson's Bank. After a ceremony at a church like St Mary the Virgin, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Hayes, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
