Wedding fish and chip van in Ponders End, cooked to order
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For engagement celebrations and barn weddings, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a wedding in Ponders End, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Ponders End, 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What comes out of the fryer

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Ponders End
Could you trade in Enfield Town Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Matthews Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We will fit around your first dance and band.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
