Wedding fish and chip van in New Southgate
Wedding fish and chip van in New Southgate, cooked to order
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Whether it’s weddings with a seaside feel and vow renewals and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
London weddings around New Southgate often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
New Southgate questions
Can you serve after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in New Southgate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
