Wedding fish and chip van in Holloway Down
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Holloway Down
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for relaxed, informal receptions and weddings with a seaside feel.
Couples in Holloway Down often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
