About our wedding fish and chip van in Northumberland Heath
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. For barn and farm weddings and weddings with a seaside feel, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
In Northumberland Heath, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Northumberland Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Northumberland Heath, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Bookings across Greater London, including Northumberland Heath
- Classic food your guests already know
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Northumberland Heath: your questions answered
Could you trade in Braeburn Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Northumberland Heath?
The closest is Barnehurst station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
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.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
