Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Northwood
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. For weddings in a marquee or garden and anniversary celebrations, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
In Northwood, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the space and the way in
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Northwood 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Northwood: your questions answered
Can the van park in King George V Playing Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Emmanuel Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Golden-hour photos in Northwood at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
