Wedding fish and chip van in Highams Park, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it’s engagement parties and barn and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In Highams Park, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Highams Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
