What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Wedding fish and chip van in Northolt, fried fresh
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for barn and farm weddings and relaxed, informal receptions.
Couples in Northolt often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Northolt
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
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: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Northolt
Is parking a problem for the van in Northolt?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
We are gathering after a service at St Richard's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Put bins near the van
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Golden-hour photos in Northolt at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
