Wedding fish and chip van in Monkhams, cooked to order
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For laid-back receptions and barn and farm weddings, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
In Monkhams, 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, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

For guests travelling by train, Highams Park station, about 1.2 miles south-west, is the nearest station.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- All the chip-shop extras
- We cover Monkhams and the whole of Greater London
- A clear quote before you book

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Monkhams
Can you serve after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Monkhams?
The closest is Highams Park station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. Winter weddings in Monkhams are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Where the van can park in Monkhams
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Monkhams is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
