Wedding fish and chip van in Mildmay
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Mildmay
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. Whether it is food after the first dance and anniversary celebrations, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In Mildmay, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

At a December wedding in Mildmay, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

FAQs for Mildmay
What’s the nearest station to Mildmay?
Dalston Kingsland station, in Mildmay itself.
Can the van park in Highbury Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
What does it cost to hire the van?

What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Don’t forget your suppliers
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Mildmay is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas

About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
